  • this feed speed is greater than the processing speed V 1 , as is noted in FIGS. 1 to 5 when reference is made to the conveying direction F and in the associated path / speed diagram S / V 1 .
  • the higher feed speed comparable to the feed movement of a tool of a machining machine — is reduced to the processing speed V 1 — which is adjustable.
  • the separating device 7 expects the stack in the front end position, which is designated by A, A 'in FIG. 1.
  • a drive device 12 which is shown with dash-dotted lines.
  • a frame (not shown) of the separating device 7 is provided in a guide arrangement running parallel to the conveying direction F of the conveying device 2, on which the separating device can be moved forwards, ie directed towards the front stack end 7 and backwards, away from the front stack end.
  • These movements can be achieved, for example, by a rotating traction means 14, chain or toothed belt connecting a controlled geared motor 13 to the frame of the separating device.
  • a sensor 16 has a decisive part in the success of this device 1, indicated by an arrow, which determines the movements of the separating device 7 or a standstill thereof.
  • the sensor 16 is the front end of the stack, respectively. facing the free-standing surface of the foremost object 3 and connected to a symbolically represented control device 17. This in turn transmits signals, which are triggered by the sensor 16, to the drive device 12 or the motor 13 for moving the separating device 7 on the guide arrangement.
  • the separation device 7 is controlled on the basis of a distance measurement between the objects 3 on the frame of the separation device 7 and the front end 6 of the stack. The distance measurement is carried out with physical variables that are suitable for this. Light, ultrasound or mechanical devices are to be named as such, the former also being usable in the reflection process and each having transmitters and receivers for transmitting rays or waves.
  • Distance values to be determined are each assigned a forward, a backward movement or a standstill of the separating device 7 on its path of movement.
  • the distance measurement takes place on a measuring section 18, which according to FIGS. 1 to 5 is divided into two sections 19, 20.
  • the ends of the measuring section 18 formed by the sections 19, 20 are assigned to the movements of the separating device 7, the end of the measuring section 18 further away from the front stack end 6 being assigned to the rearward movement of the separating device 7, whereas that is closer to the front stack end 6 opposite end of the measuring section 18 is intended to initiate a forward movement of the separating device 7.
  • a forward movement of the separating device 7 is provided on the measuring section 18 as shown in FIG. 1, the separating device 7 is motionless in the front end position A, A '.
  • a mechanical device would, for example, be a touch probe determine the movements of the separating device 7 as the measuring value transmitter 16 or initiate, the touch device, like the rest of the way by measuring transducers 16 reacting to different physical quantities each facing the foremost item 3 of the stack.
  • the through the separating device 7 objects pulled off to the side 3 leave to the next one Item 3 a momentary distance arise, which is a rush the probe device or a change in radiation or wavelength, which in turn is a forward movement of the separating device 7 triggers.
  • the mode of operation of the device 1 is described in individual sequences with reference to FIG. 2 to 5 explained.
  • the stack formed from objects 3 of different thicknesses has reached the withdrawal section 8 of the separating device 7, and due to the close proximity to the transmitter 16, the backward movement of the separating device 7 has just been initiated or is imminent.
  • the conveyor belt 9 has, for example, two adhesive sections 10 distributed over the length, as disclosed inter alia in WO96 / 38361. Due to the approach of the objects 3, the distance to the foremost object 3 is currently canceled. As a result, the measuring value transmitter 16 has initiated the backward movement of the separating device 7 on the measuring section 18, as is shown by FIG. 2.
  • the separating device 7 is traveling together with the front stack end 6 by a backward movement, the conveying speed V 1 of the conveying device 2 being reduced by approximately half and adapted to the speed of the separating device 7 according to the path / speed diagram. It is not excluded that the separating device 7 has also carried out forward movements since the state according to FIG. 2 or has stopped in between, whereas the rotating conveyor belt 9 of the separating device 7 is continuously driven or continuously removes objects from the front stack end 6. In the illustrated state, the separating device 7 is set in the backward movement due to the position of the measuring value transmitter 16 on the measuring section 18, ie it is removed from the front end position A, A '.
  • FIG 4 shows the device 1 in a situation in which the front stack end 6 is stopped and the separating device 7 has reached a rear position or a switching position 21 in which the conveying action of the conveying device 2 is interrupted.
  • the stack continues to be dismantled and the separating device stops or moves further back, at the same or greater speed than before.
