An assembly for controlling individual positioning elements in a delivery region of a sheet-fed printing machine, including at least one computer, at least one input device connected to the computer for inputting therein characteristic data specific to a sheet and/or to the printing machine, the computer having devices for further processing the characteristic data, and a control device operatively connected to the computer and having individual positioning elements for causing a format-dependent adjustment in accordance with the inputted characteristic data, the computer having devices for calculating, from the characteristic data, energy of the sheet oncoming to the delivery region and, in accordance with the calculated energy value, also for calculating an actuating value for at least one individual positioning element in the delivery region so that energy withdrawal by the individual positioning element is substantially equal to the energy of the oncoming sheet in the delivery region, the control device having devices for actuating the individual positioning element in accordance with the calculated value; and method of operation.
An assembly for controlling individual positioning elements in a delivery region of a sheet-fed printing machine, comprising at least one computer, at least one input device connected to said computer for inputting therein characteristic data specific to a sheet and/or to the printing machine, said computer having means for further processing said characteristic data, and a control device operatively connected to said computer and having individual positioning elements for causing a format-dependent adjustment in accordance with said inputted characteristic data, said computer having means for calculating, from said characteristic data, kinetic energy of the sheet oncoming to the delivery region and for calculating a frictional force for at least one individual positioning element in the delivery region so that frictional energy withdrawal by the individual positioning element is substantially equal to the kinetic energy of the oncoming sheet in the delivery region, said control device having means for actuating said individual positioning element in accordance with the calculated frictional force.
Method of controlling individual positioning elements in a sheet delivery region of a sheet-fed printing machine, which comprises a first step of inputting characteristic data specific to a sheet and/or to the printing machine into a computer, a second step of further processing the characteristic data in the computer, and a third step of making a format-dependent adjustment in accordance with the inputted characteristic data with at least one individual positioning element of a control device, and wherein the second step includes calculating kinetic energy of the sheet oncoming to the delivery region from the characteristic data and, in accordance with the calculated energy value, also calculating a frictional force for the individual positioning element in the sheet delivery region so that frictional energy withdrawal by the individual printing element is substantially equal to the kinetic energy of the sheet oncoming to the delivery region, and wherein the third step includes actuating the individual positioning element in accordance with the frictional force.
