Transport devices for a sheet-format substrate and method for transporting at least one sheet-format substrate

A transport device (100) for a sheet-format substrate (02) having at least one first substrate feed device (101) and having at least one second substrate feed device (160), wherein the at least one second substrate feed device (160) comprises at least one forward stop (162) and at least one singulating device (165), wherein at least one substrate guiding device (125) is located between the at least one first substrate feed device (101) and the at least one second substrate feed device (160) and wherein the at least one substrate guiding device (125) has at least one directing element (126), wherein the at least one directing element (126) is mounted such that it is movable and/or moved in two different directions independently of one another, characterized in that the at least one directing element (126) has at least one directing bar (134) which is mounted for rotational displacement.

A transport device (100) for a sheet-format substrate (02) having at least one first substrate feed device (101) and having at least one second substrate feed device (160) which comprises at least one forward stop (162) and at least one singulating device (165), wherein at least one substrate guiding device (125) is located between the at least one first substrate feed device (101) and the at least one second substrate feed device (160), wherein the at least one substrate guiding device (125) has at least one directing element (126), and wherein the at least one directing element (126) is mounted operatively connected to at least one first linear guide (141) and at least one second linear guide, characterized in that the at least one directing element (126) has at least one bearing rail (136), and in that the at least one bearing rail (136) has at least one bearing element (139) in the transverse direction (A), and in that the at least one bearing element (139) is arranged protruding away from the at least one bearing rail (136), which points at least in the direction of transport (T) and/or at least in a direction that points toward the at least one second substrate feed device (160).

A method for transporting at least one sheet-format substrate (02) using at least one first substrate feed device (101) and at least one second substrate feed device (160), wherein the at least one second substrate feed device (160) comprises at least one forward stop (162) and at least one singulating device (165), wherein downstream of the at least one first substrate feed device (101) and upstream of the at least one second substrate feed device (160) the at least one substrate (02) is transported via at least one substrate guiding device (125), wherein the at least one substrate guiding device (125) has at least one directing element (126), wherein the at least one directing element (126) is moved in two different directions independently of one another, and wherein the at least one substrate guiding device (125) has at least one supporting element (127), characterized in that the at least one supporting element (127) of the at least one substrate guiding device (125) supports the at least one substrate (02) against deflection and/or bending and/or for an adjustment to the thickness of the at least one substrate (02) for feeding to the at least one second substrate feed device (160).
