Abstract
A device and a method for separating sheet material is provided. The separation of sheet material is not effected statically, but a suitable pick-up position and/or a suitable pick-up mechanism is selected for each sheet material piece, for example in dependence on the quality of a surface of the sheet material piece to be picked up, in order to pick up the sheet material piece from the sheet material stack and remove it from the same.
Claims14
A device for separating sheet material, comprising:
- a sheet material pick-up which is configured to pick up a single sheet material piece from a sheet material stack, which includes several sheet material pieces;
- and
- an actuator which is configured to shift the sheet material pick-up, wherein,
- the device is configured to selectively pick up the single sheet material piece by a first pick-up mechanism of the sheet material pick-up and/or by a second pick-up mechanism of the sheet material pick-up, in order to remove the single sheet material piece from the sheet material stack, and, wherein,
- the first pick-up mechanism of the sheet material pick-up and the second pick-up mechanism of the sheet material pick-up are of different type mechanisms.
