Abstract

Zuführstation, mit einem Vorvereinzelungsbereich, mit einem Vereinzelungsbereich und mit einem Transportbereich, der in Transportrichtung nach dem Vereinzelungsbereich an einem Transportpfad angeordnet ist. Der Vereinzelungsbereich ist ein zwischen Vereinzelungswalzen einer Vereinzelungsvorrichtung liegender Abschnitt eines Transportpfades auf einem Zuführdeck und mehrstufig ausgebildet. Die Zuführstation umfasst Motoren, mechanische Antriebselemente und eine Steuereinheit (2.4), die eingangsseitig mit einer Anzahl von Sensoren und Encodern verbunden ist. Ein erster Sensor (S1) ist am Anfang des Vereinzelungsbereichs und ein zweiter Sensor (S2) ist am Anfang des Transportbereichs angeordnet. Die Steuereinheit weist einen Prozessor (2.41), ein Signalverarbeitungsmittel (2.44) für die Signale der Sensoren und Encoder (EN1, EN2) sowie ein Ermittlungsmittel (2.45) zur Ermittlung der Position des flachen Guts auf und ist ausgangsseitig mit einem Vereinzelungsmotor (M1) zum Antrieb der Vereinzelungsvorrichtung verbunden. Sie ist programmiert mindestens den Vereinzelungsmotor (M1) so anzusteuern, dass ein flaches Gut aus dem Stapel mit einer vorbestimmten Vereinzelungsgeschwindigkeit vereinzelt wird, wobei der Vereinzelungsvorgang bei einer zu kleinen Lücke zwischen den flachen Gütern gestoppt wird, sobald die Vorderkante eines nachfolgenden flachen Guts den Bereich des zweiten Sensors (S2) erreicht und fortgesetzt wird, wenn das vorausgehend vereinzelte flache Gut durch dessen Transport einen vorbestimmten Abstand zur Vorderkante des vorgenannten flachen Guts erreicht.

Feeding station, with a pre-separating region, with a separating region and with a transport region, which is arranged in the transport direction after the separation region on a transport path. The separating region is a section of a transport path lying on a feed deck and arranged in several stages between separating rollers of a separating device. The feed station comprises motors, mechanical drive elements and a control unit (2.4), which is connected on the input side with a number of sensors and encoders. A first sensor (S1) is at the beginning of the singulation area and a second sensor (S2) is arranged at the beginning of the transport area. The control unit has a processor (2.41), a signal processing means (2.44) for the signals of the sensors and encoders (EN1, EN2), and a determination means (2.45) for determining the position of the flat product and is provided on the output side with a singulation motor (M1) for Drive the separating device connected. It is programmed to control at least the singulation motor (M1) so that a flat good is singled out of the stack at a predetermined singling speed, the singling process being stopped if the gap between the flat goods is too small, as soon as the leading edge of a succeeding flat product is the area of the second sensor (S2) is reached and continued when the previously isolated flat good reaches by its transport a predetermined distance from the leading edge of the aforementioned flat Guts.
