A sheet material holder for holding sheet material for a gripping system, wherein the sheet material holder has a first surface,
- wherein the sheet material holder is designed to bear on the sheet material by means of the first surface when the sheet material holder is holding the sheet material,
- wherein the first surface has at least one first opening,
- wherein the sheet material holder is designed such that a fluid can be discharged through the first opening along a first predetermined discharging direction in the direction of the sheet material when the sheet material holder is holding the sheet material.
A method for setting down sheet material, comprising the steps of:
- moving sheet material to a set-down position, wherein the sheet material is held by at least one sheet material holder,
- wherein a surface of the at least one sheet material holder bears on the sheet material;
- increasing a distance between a first and a second of the at least one sheet material holder in order to release the sheet material held between the first sheet material holder and the second sheet material holder from the sheet material holders;
- discharging a fluid from at least one opening in the surface of the at least one sheet material holder, wherein the fluid is discharged in the direction of the sheet material;
- and
- moving the at least one sheet material holder relative to the sheet material during the discharging of the fluid, such that the sheet material is set down from the at least one sheet material holder.
