Device for handling of flat elements for a printing machine

A device (10) adapted to handle flat elements (100) for a printing machine (M), of the type adapted to be positioned at the inlet or at the outlet of the printing machine, or both, said device comprising:

• a supporting structure (12), defining a supporting surface (14) substantially parallel and preferably coplanar to a work table (P) of the printing machine (M), adapted to accommodate a flat element (100) in a position to be able to be arranged at the inlet to the printing machine (M) for the printing process or a flat element (100) at the outlet from the printing machine (M) after the printing process;
• and
• handling means configured to move said flat element (100) at least between the supporting surface (14) and a loading or unloading position;
• wherein said handling means comprise at least one arm (22), connected to the supporting structure (12), comprising articulated elements and provided with pick-up means (24) of the flat element (100), wherein said arm (22) is configured to rotate the flat element (100), preferably relative to a horizontal axis, parallel to the supporting surface (P).
