Description

The invention relates to a sheet-fed printing machine.

Different printing processes are used in printing machines. Non-impact printing processes (NIP = non impact printing) are printing processes that do not require a fixed, i.e. physically unchangeable printing form. Such printing processes can produce different print images in each printing process. Examples of non-impact printing processes are ionographic processes, magnetographic processes, thermographic processes, electrophotography, laser printing and in particular inkjet printing processes or inkjet printing processes. Such printing methods usually have at least one imaging device, for example at least one printhead. In the case of the inkjet printing method, such a printhead is designed, for example, as an inkjet printhead and has at least one and preferably a plurality of nozzles, by means of which at least one printing fluid, for example in the form of ink drops, can be selectively transferred to a printing material. Alternative printing processes have fixed printing forms, for example gravure printing processes, planographic printing processes, offset printing processes and high pressure processes, in particular flexographic printing processes. Depending on the number of copies and / or other requirements such as print quality, a non-impact printing process or a printing process with a fixed printing form may be preferred.

An exact match of a printed image on the front and back of a printing material printed on both sides is called register (DIN 16500-2). In multicolor printing, one speaks of register (DIN 16500-2) when individual print images of different colors are combined to form an image. Suitable measures must also be taken in connection with inkjet printing Register and / or register must be observed. It is particularly important that a relative position between the print head and the printing material is known and / or kept constant. The register is also called the color register. The term register mark is therefore also to be understood below to mean a register mark, that is to say a mark for checking the register or color register.

The term "coating material" or "pressure fluid" has preceded it and in the following inks and printing inks, but also primers, lacquers and pasty materials summarized. Preference is given to pressurized fluids materials that are processed by a processing machine 01, in particular a printing machine 01, or at least one coating unit 400; 600; 800 of the processing machine 01, in particular at least one printing unit 600 of the printing machine 01, are transferred and / or are transferable to a substrate 02, in particular a printing substrate 02, and are preferably in a finely structured form and / or not only a preferably visible and / or large area based on sensory impressions and / or machine-detectable texture on the substrate 02, in particular substrate 02, justify. Inks and printing inks are preferably solutions or dispersions of at least one colorant in at least one solvent. Examples of suitable solvents are water and / or organic solvents. Alternatively or additionally, the pressure fluid can be designed as a pressure fluid that crosslinks under UV light. Inks are relatively low viscosity printing fluids and inks are relatively high viscosity printing fluids. Inks preferably have no binder or relatively little binder, while printing inks preferably contain a relatively large amount of binder and more preferably further auxiliaries. Colorants can be pigments and / or dyes, pigments being insoluble in the application medium, while dyes are soluble in the application medium.

For the sake of simplicity, the expression “printing ink” in the sense of a liquid or at least flowable coloring fluid to be printed in the printing press should be understood in the preceding and in the following - if not explicitly differentiated and named accordingly - and not only in colloquial terms but rather with the expression "Printing ink" associated higher-viscosity coloring fluids for use in rotary printing presses, but in addition to these higher-viscosity coloring fluids in particular also low-viscosity coloring fluids such as "inks", in particular inkjet inks, but also pulverulent coloring fluids such as e.g. B. toner. Thus, in the foregoing and in the following in particular also colorless varnishes are meant, if of pressurized fluids and / or inks and / or printing inks. In the foregoing and in the following in particular, means for a pretreatment (so-called priming or precoating) of the printing substrate 02 are preferred when printing fluids and / or inks and / or printing inks are mentioned. As an alternative to the term pressure fluid, the term coating agent is to be understood synonymously.

A processing machine 01 is designed as a printing machine 01. The processing machine 01 is preferably designed as a sheet processing machine 01, that is to say as a processing machine 01 for processing sheet-shaped substrate 02 or sheet 02, in particular sheet-shaped printing material 02. Processing machine 01 is designed as sheet-fed printing machine 01. For example, the printing press 01 is designed as a printing press 01 operating according to a non-impact printing method and / or as a printing press 01 operating according to a printing form-bound printing method. The printing press 01 is preferably designed as a non-impact printing press 01, in particular an inkjet printing press 01 and / or as a flexographic printing press 01. The printing press has, for example, at least one flexo coating unit 400; 600; 800 on. Alternatively or additionally, the coating machine 01 preferably has at least one non-impact coating unit 400; 600; 800, in particular jet coating unit 400; 600; 800 or inkjet coating unit 400; 600; 800 on.

Unless explicitly differentiated, the term “sheet-shaped substrate 02”, in particular a printing substrate 02, especially sheet 02, should here be understood to mean basically any substrate 02 present in sections and in sections, that is to say also substrates 02 in tabular or plate form, that is to say also sheets or plates, be included. The arch-shaped substrate 02 or the arch 02 defined in this way is formed, for example, from paper or cardboard, ie as a paper or cardboard arch, or by arch 02, sheets or possibly plates made of plastic, cardboard, glass or metal. The substrate 02 is further preferably corrugated cardboard 02, in particular Corrugated cardboard sheet 02. The thickness of a sheet 02 is preferably understood to mean a dimension orthogonal to a largest surface of the sheet 02. This largest area is also called the main area. The thickness of the sheets 02 is, for example, at least 0.1 mm, more preferably at least 0.3 mm and even more preferably at least 0.5 mm. With corrugated cardboard sheets 02 in particular, significantly larger thicknesses are customary, for example at least 4 mm or also 10 mm and more. Corrugated cardboard sheets 02 are comparatively stable and therefore not very flexible. Appropriate adjustments to the processing machine 01 therefore facilitate the processing of sheets 02 of great thickness.

The processing machine 01 preferably has a plurality of units 100; 200; 300; 400; 500; 550; 600; 700; 800; 900; 1000 on.

By rotating the suction boxes 718; 272 there is then a forward movement of the transport surface 718, sheets 02 being held securely on the transport surface 718 precisely in the region in which they are sealed suction boxes 718 connected to the suction opening 722; 722 are in contact. Guide means 732 are preferably arranged which serve to prevent the movement of the suction boxes 718; To limit 727 to specified areas.

A third embodiment of a suction transport means 111; 117; 119; 136; 211; 311; 411; 417; 511; 561; 611; 617; 711; 811; 817; 911; 1011 is a roller suction system 111; 117; 119; 136; 211; 311; 411; 417; 511; 561; 611; 617; 711; 811; 817; 911; 1011. Under a roller suction system 111; 117; 119; 136; 211; 311; 411; 417; 511; 561; 611; 617; 711; 811; 817; 911; 1011 is to be understood as a device in which the at least one transport surface 718 is formed from at least parts of the outer surfaces 718 of a multiplicity of transport rollers 724 and / or transport rollers 724. The transport rollers 724 and / or transport rollers 724 thus each form closed and rotating parts of the transport surface 718. The roller suction system 111; 117; 119; 136; 211; 311; 411; 417; 511; 561; 611; 617; 711; 811; 817; 911; 1011 preferably has a plurality of suction openings 722.

The suction openings 722 are then preferably frame-shaped and each surround one of the transport rollers 724 and / or transport rollers 724. In other words, this means that preferably the transport rollers 724 and / or transport rollers 724 protrude through the suction openings 722 to a small extent, for example only a few millimeters , of which the Vacuum chamber 719 limiting mask 734 is penetrated. Alternatively, some or all of the transport rollers 724 and / or transport rollers 724 protrude through openings in the mask 734, which are not connected to the vacuum chamber 719. Such openings are then arranged, for example, in addition to separate suction openings 722. A circumferential movement of the transport rollers 724 and / or transport rollers 724 then results in a forward movement of the parts of the transport surface 718, sheets 02 being held securely on the transport surface 718 exactly in the area in which they are opposite the suction opening 722.

For example, the respective suction transport means 111; 117; 119; 136; 211; 311; 411; 417; 511; 561; 611; 617; 711; 811; 817; 911; 1011 then as the lower suction transport means 111; 117; 119; 136; 211; 311; 411; 417; 511; 561; 611; 617; 711; 811; 817; 911; 1011, the suction openings 722 or suction openings 724 of which, at least during their connection to the at least one vacuum chamber 719, preferably also point at least or only upwards and / or whose suction effect is preferably also directed at least or only downwards. The sheets 02 are then removed from the suction transport means 111; 117; 119; 136; 211; 311; 411; 417; 511; 561; 611; 617; 711; 811; 817; 911; 1011 transported horizontally.

Whether the respective suction transport means 111; 117; 119; 136; 211; 311; 411; 417; 511; 561; 611; 617; 711; 811; 817; 911; 1011 as upper or lower suction transport means 111; 117; 119; 136; 211; 311; 411; 417; 511; 561; 611; 617; 711; 811; 817; 911; 1011 is formed, for example, depends on whether in a preceding and / or in a subsequent unit 100; 200; 300; 400; 500; 550; 600; 700; 800; 900; 1000 a upper or lower main surface of sheet 02 has been processed and / or is to be.

That suction transport means 111; 117; 119; 136; 211; 311; 411; 417; 511; 561; 611; 617; 711; 811; 817; 911; 1011, whose area of action ends later seen in the transport direction T, then decides whether the sheets 02 are transported hanging or lying down after the transfer point.

Regardless of the embodiment of the suction transport means 111; 117; 119; 136; 211; 311; 411; 417; 511; 561; 611; 617; 711; 811; 817; 911; 1011 as suction belt 111; 117; 119; 136; 211; 311; 411; 417; 511; 561; 611; 617; 711; 811; 817; 911; 1011 and / or as a suction box belt 111; 117; 119; 136; 211; 311; 411; 417; 511; 561; 611; 617; 711; 811; 817; 911; 1011 and / or as a roller suction system 111; 117; 119; 136; 211; 311; 411; 417; 511; 561; 611; 617; 711; 811; 817; 911; 1011, for example, the at least negative pressure chamber 719 is divided and / or can be divided into several parts with respect to the transverse direction A, which are preferably sealed and / or sealable with respect to one another and / or which can be individually subjected to negative pressure. As a result, it can be adapted to sheets 02 of different widths and it is not necessary to suck in a lot of air unnecessarily. However, the suction openings 722 and / or the suction openings 723 are preferably selected to be so small that a volume passing through them is very small, even if it is not currently covered by a sheet 02. Then an adjustment can be made to dispense with the width of the sheet 02.

Preferably, the sheet-fed printing press 01 is alternatively or additionally characterized in that at least one module 100 designed as a substrate feed device 100 is arranged along the transport path provided for sheet 02 in front of the at least one priming module 400 and / or in front of the at least one non-impact printing module 600. Preferably, the sheet-fed printing press 01 is alternatively or additionally characterized in that at least one cleaning device 201 for sheet 02 is arranged along the transport path provided for sheet 02 in front of the at least one priming module 400 and / or in front of the at least one non-impact printing module 600.

Different embodiments and / or configuration options of the at least one substrate feed device 100 are described below. Different combinations of individual configurations are possible. The substrate feed device 100 is preferably independent of further units 200; 300; 400; 500; 550; 600; 700; 800; 900; 1000 trained, provided that there are no contradictions. For example, stacks 104 are fed manually and / or by means of an automated system to the substrate feed device 100, in particular in the form of stacks 104 which are preferably arranged on carrier units 113. Such carrier units 113 are, for example, pallets 113. Stacks 104 which are or have been fed to the substrate feed device 100 as such are also referred to as feeder stack 104, for example. The carrier units 113 or pallets 113 preferably have correspondingly oriented grooves, for example for engaging stack carriers, in particular in order to detach sheets 02 and / or stacks 104 from the carrier units 113 or pallets 113.

The at least one substrate feed device 100 is preferably used to separate sheets 02 of a stack 104 or partial stack 106, and more preferably one or several subsequent units 200; 300; 400; 500; 550; 600; 700; 800; 900 feed. The at least one substrate feed device 100 has, for example, at least one stack turning device 101 or sheet turning device. The stack turning device 101 preferably serves to turn a stack 104 or partial stack 106 having at least several sheets 02 as a whole. Turning the sheets 02 is useful, for example, when two opposite main surfaces of the sheets 02 differ from one another and subsequent processing is to take place on a specific one of these main surfaces. This is the case regardless of whether the sheets 02 are turned over individually or whether the stack 104 is turned over as a whole or whether partial stacks 106 are turned over. This applies, for example, if the sheets 02 had already been processed before they were combined to form the stack 104 and / or if the sheets 02 had main surfaces which were distinguishable from one another. Such distinguishable main surfaces result, for example, from production in corrugated cardboard sheets 02.

A stack holding area 102 is an area 102, in particular a space area 102, in which, at least during operation of the processing machine 01, the stack 104 is arranged, which is divided up for the subsequent processing of its sheets 02. The stack holding area 102 preferably comprises the entire space area which is provided for arranging such a stack 104, in particular regardless of whether the stack 104 would fill up less space than possible, for example because its sheets 02 have already been partially separated or a smaller one than one have the maximum possible format. This stack 104 is preferably the feeder stack 104. The stack holding area 102 is therefore preferably the space area 102 which is provided, at least during operation of the processing machine 01, for arranging at least one stack 104 designed as an feeder stack 104 to divide it up. The at least one stack turning device 101 is arranged upstream of the stack holding area 102, for example, with respect to an intended transport path of the sheets 02. Then the stack 104 can be turned over as a whole before it is one further processing by the processing machine 01 is fed and in particular divided. Alternatively or additionally, at least one stack turning device 101 is arranged downstream of the stack holding area 102 with respect to the intended transport path of the sheets 02. Then the stack turning device 101 is preferably designed as a partial stack turning device 101. For example, a partial stack separator 103 is arranged which serves to separate an in particular upper partial stack 106 from the stack 104 arranged in the stack holding area 102. A partial stack 103 preferably has more than one sheet 02. The partial stack separator 103 is designed, for example, as a partial stack pushing device 103 and / or as a partial stack pulling device.

For example, a partial stack 106 having a plurality of sheets 02 is removed from the stack 104 as follows. First, the stack 104 is brought to a height at which an uppermost sheet 02 of the stack 104 is at a removal height. Then a partial stack pushing device 103 is moved towards the stack 104 in particular in the transport direction T until it comes into contact with at least one sheet 02 of the stack 104. This at least one sheet 02 becomes, for example, the bottom sheet 02 of the partial stack 106. Then the partial stack pushing device 103 is moved further and thereby moves the at least one sheet 02 in contact with it and preferably arranged above it. These moving sheets 02 thus become common as a partial stack 106, preferably moved in the transport direction T, in particular pushed.

For example, this partial stack 106 is then first fed to the partial stack turning device 101. The partial stack turning device 101 has, for example, at least one transport means 107, which is preferably designed as at least one transport belt 107, more preferably at least two transport belts 107. The transport means 107 is preferably at least partially pivotable about a pivot axis 108, which is further preferably horizontal and / or orthogonal to the intended transport direction T. and / or is oriented parallel to the transverse direction A. For example, the at least two conveyor belts 107 can be moved towards one another, in particular with respect to the vertical direction V. As a result, the partial stack 106 can be held, in particular clamped, between the two conveyor belts 107 and pivoted together with them about the pivot axis 108, in particular by essentially 180 °. To move the partial stack 106 into the partial stack turning device 101 and / or to move the partial stack 106 out of the partial stack turning device 101, at least one of the at least two conveyor belts 107 is preferably activated. For example, they can each be operated in two directions in order to be able to use the transport of the partial stack 107 independently of the current swivel position of the transport means 107.

The substrate feed device 100 has, regardless of whether a stack turning device 101 or a partial stack turning device 101 is arranged or not, preferably at least one separating device 109 or sheet separating device 109. If necessary, a plurality of separating devices 109 are arranged, in particular spaced apart with respect to the transport direction T and / or one behind the other. For example, a separation device 109 then serves for at least partial separation of sheets 02 and another separation device for a subsequent complete separation of sheets 02. This at least one separation device 109 or sheet separation device 109 is arranged, for example, with respect to the transport path provided for sheet 02 after the partial stack turning device 101. If no partial stack turning device 101 is arranged, the partial stack 106 is preferably fed to the separating device 109 or sheet separating device 109 immediately after its generation. In particular, if no partial stack separator 103 is arranged and / or no partial stack 106 is generated, the separating device 109 or sheet separating device 109 preferably acts directly on a respective stack 104. For example, this stack is 104 the feeder stack 104, which is more preferably located in the stack holding area 102. Then the at least one separating device 109 is designed, for example, as a removal device 114.

The at least one separating device 109 or sheet separating device 109 preferably separates the sheets 02 of the stack 104 or partial stack 106 at least partially. The at least one separating device 109 or sheet separating device 109 separates the sheets 02 of the stack 104 or partial stack 106 in at least one embodiment from below and in at least one other embodiment from above.

A partial or complete separation of the sheets 02 of the stack 104 or partial stack 106 from below takes place in a first embodiment of a sheet separation device 109, for example by the stack 104 or partial stack 106 lying on at least one lower translation element 111, in particular a lower transport means 111, in particular continuously, for example in the transport direction T is transported and at least partially runs against an obstacle 112 that only allows a lower area of the stack 104 or partial stack 106 to pass, for example only one sheet 02 or two sheets 02 or a few sheets 02 by means of the at least one lower translation element 111, in particular in the transport direction T, preferably transported continuously, while other sheets 02 are initially held back and only after removal of at least the bottom sheet 02 from top to bottom can descend until they themselves are in the position to pass under the obstacle 112. The height of the obstacle 112 is preferably adapted to the thickness of the sheets 02 and / or to a desired type of separation. For example, a weir 112, which is preferably designed as a plate 112, is used as the height-adjustable obstacle 112. If the sheets 02 are to be completely separated, a height below the obstacle is preferably greater than the thickness of the sheets 02 and less than twice the thickness of the sheets 02. If an incomplete separation, for example in the form of a shingled stream of sheets 02, is sufficient, the height under the obstacle is preferably correspondingly greater than twice the thickness of the sheets 02 and, for example, less than four times the thickness the sheet 02. For example, the entire stack 104 is separated or incompletely separated, that is, shingled, in particular if no partial stack separator 103 is arranged. Preferably, however, the stack 104 is successively divided into partial stacks 106 by means of the partial stack separator 103, which are then transported turned over or unturned and then separated or incompletely separated, that is, shingled.

The lower translation element 111 is designed, for example, as a suction transport means 111, in particular as a suction belt 111 and / or suction box belt 111 and / or roller suction system 111. In this case, however, preference is given to using at least one relatively simple conveyor belt 111, which has no suction device, as the lower translation element 111. A respective partial stack 106 is preferably fed to the lower translation element 111 from the partial stack turning device 101, which partial stack 106 is at least partially separated by means of the obstacle 112 and is converted into a stream of sheets 02 which are arranged, separated or flaked on the at least one lower translation element 111. At this point, an exact position of the sheets 02 is preferably not yet necessary, since this exact position is preferably only produced in a subsequent treatment using at least one further separating device 109 and / or using a contact device 300. The at least one contact device 300 is part of the substrate feed device 100 or is designed independently.

The sheets 02 of the stack 104 or partial stack 106 or in particular a storage stack or attachment stack are separated from below in a second embodiment of a sheet separation device 109, for example by stacking 104 or partial stack 106 or storage stack or attachment stack in one Storage device 134 is stored and at least one, in particular primary, acceleration means 136 is brought into contact with a bottom sheet 02 of stack 104 or partial stack 106 or storage stack or storage stack and / or controlled and / or regulated thereon at preferably selected and / or regulated times bottom arch 02 acts. In the foregoing and below, there is talk of a storage stack designed as an investment stack if the separation is described from below using this sheet separation device 109. This is irrespective of whether another, for example partial, separation from below or from above has already taken place beforehand, or whether this plant stack has been pretreated differently or, as a whole, was directly introduced into the storage device 134 when it was first fed into the substrate feed device 100.

The processing machine 01, which is preferably designed as a sheet-fed printing press 01, and in particular the substrate feed device 100, preferably has at least one storage device 134 for at least one storage stack of sheets 02. The storage device 134 is preferably arranged after the stack holding area 102 with respect to the transport path provided for sheets 02. For example, two storage stacks are provided, one of which is designed as an investment stack and one as a buffer stack. Preferably, sheets 02 of the storage device 134, and in particular the at least one storage stack, can be fed from above by means of the substrate feed device 100 from a first stack 104, which is designed, for example, as a feeder stack 104. The at least one storage device 134 preferably has the at least one separating device 109 which acts from below and is designed to remove a lowermost sheet 02 of a storage stack and, in particular, an installation stack. In this case, this bottom sheet 02 is preferably the bottom sheet 02 of a storage stack having a plurality of sheets 02. This at least one separating device 109 acting from below is therefore preferably a storage stack and in particular designed an investment stack from below and / or capable of being separated.

The storage device 134 preferably has at least one front stop 137, which is preferably designed as a front wall 137 and / or serves as a front mark 127. Alternatively or additionally, a separate front mark 127 is arranged. The front stop 137 preferably prevents unwanted movement of sheet 02 in the transport direction T before it has become the bottom sheet 02 of the stack of sheets. The front stop 137 preferably prevents the at least one storage stack arranged in the storage device 134 from tipping over or otherwise disintegrating, in particular the plant stack and / or the buffer stack.

The storage device 134 preferably has at least one side stop, which is preferably designed as a side wall. With further preference, with respect to the transverse direction A, 134 side stops are arranged on both sides of the storage device. Alternatively or additionally, at least one separate side mark is arranged. The at least one side stop preferably prevents unwanted movement of sheets 02 in and / or against the transverse direction A before they have become the bottom sheet 02 of the stack of attachments. The at least one side stop preferably prevents the at least one storage stack arranged in the storage device 134, in particular the plant stack and / or the buffer stack, from tipping or otherwise disintegrating. The storage device 134 preferably has at least one rear stop 141, which is preferably designed as a rear wall 141. The at least one back stop 141 is arranged in front of the at least one storage stack with respect to the transport direction T and preferably prevents an unwanted movement of sheets 02 against the transport direction T before they have become the bottom sheets 02 of the stack of attachments. The backstop 141 preferably prevents the at least one storage stack arranged in the storage device 134 from tipping over or otherwise disintegrating, in particular the stack of installations and / or the buffer stack.

The separating device 109 preferably has at least one, in particular primary, acceleration means 136, in particular for accelerating a bottom sheet 02 of the at least one storage stack or attachment stack, more preferably in the transport direction T. The at least one primary acceleration means 136 is preferably arranged below the at least one storage stack, more preferably below the at least one stack of deposits and even more preferably also below the at least one buffer stack. The at least one primary acceleration means 136 is, for example, as at least one transport roller 136 and / or as at least one transport belt 136 and / or as at least one suction transport means 136, in particular suction belt 136 and / or suction box belt 136 and / or roller suction system 136 and / or suction gripper 136 and / or suction roller 136 is formed. What has been described above and below using suction transport means preferably applies accordingly. For example, a plurality of primary acceleration means 136 are arranged, in particular in the form of a plurality of transport rollers 136 and / or a plurality of transport belts and / or a plurality of suction transport means 136.

At least one spacer 144 is preferred; 144.1; 144.2 arranged. The at least one spacer 144; 144.1; 144.2 preferably serves to be able to keep the at least one primary acceleration means 136 away from any sheet 02 at least temporarily and / or in a controlled and / or regulated manner. For example, one or more sheets 02 or a stack of sheets 02 lie at least temporarily on the at least one spacer 144; 144.1; 144.2. The at least one primary acceleration means 136 and the at least one spacer 144; 144.1; 144.2 are preferably arranged to be movable relative to one another at least with respect to the vertical direction V, in particular by means of the vertical mobility of the at least one spacer 144; 144.1; 144.2 and / or by vertical mobility of the at least one primary acceleration means 136. For example, the at least one spacer 144; 144.1; 144.2 is formed as at least one bearing surface for bends 02 and / or the primary acceleration means 136 protrude at least partially and / or at least temporarily upwards through the recesses. The sum of the respective contact area can be smaller than the total area of the recesses.

In a holding position, the bottom sheet of the contact stack lies on the spacer 144; 144.1; 144.2 without touching the primary accelerator 136. If the at least one spacer 144; 144.1; 144.2 lowered and / or the at least one primary acceleration means 136 raised, the bottom sheet of the contact stack comes into contact with the corresponding at least one primary acceleration means 136. By suitably driving the at least one primary acceleration means 136, this sheet 02 is moved forward in the transport direction T. The at least one primary acceleration means 136 preferably stands still at the moment when it comes into contact with the lowermost sheet 02 of the investment stack and is then accelerated in order to accelerate this sheet 02 at the same time. The at least one primary acceleration means 136 is preferably braked and in particular stopped after it has come out of contact with this arc 02.

As an alternative, in particular if the primary acceleration means 136 are activated accordingly, the at least one spacer 144; 144.1; 144.2. Preferably, only the respective at least one primary acceleration means 136 is driven, which is in contact with the currently lowest sheet 02 of the installation stack. Primary acceleration means 136, which are not in contact with any sheet 02 or already with the next sheet 02, are preferably stopped first. Primary acceleration means 136, which are already out of contact with the currently lowest sheet 02 of the stack, are preferably first stopped and / or kept or brought out of contact with the next sheet 02. For example, in the case of a Suction transport means 136 can be specifically switched off sections of a suction device.

The at least one primary acceleration means 136 is preferably used to accelerate alone or in cooperation with at least one further, in particular secondary acceleration means 119 exactly one sheet 02, which has preferably already been aligned with respect to the transport direction T and / or the transverse direction A. This acceleration takes place, for example, from a temporary standstill and / or to a coating speed or printing speed with which at least one sheet 02 passes through this and / or a later point in time through the at least one non-impact coating unit 400; 600; 800 is transported and there is preferably coated. This acceleration is optionally carried out in combination with further, in particular secondary acceleration means 119. By means of the at least one primary acceleration means 136 and / or the at least one secondary acceleration means 119, a respective sheet 02 can thus be accelerated from a standstill and / or from a first speed to a second speed, while at least one other sheet 02 can be accelerated simultaneously with a coating speed or printing speed by the at least one non-impact coating unit 400; 600; 800 is transported and more preferably coated there. The first speed is preferably a speed different from the coating speed or printing speed. The second speed is, for example, equal to the coating speed or printing speed. The at least one primary acceleration means 136 with respect to the transport direction T is preferably followed by at least one outgoing transport means 119 of the substrate feed device 100. This is designed, for example, as at least one transport roller 119 or at least a pair of transport rollers 119 or as at least one suction transport means 119. For example, this is at least one outgoing transport means 119 Accelerator 119, in particular the at least one secondary accelerator 119.

The at least one front stop 137 and / or the at least one front mark 127 is preferably used to align the sheets 02 of the stack. For example, the at least one front stop 137 and / or the at least one front mark 127 is at least temporarily arranged in such a way that it influences at least the second sheet 02 from below the attachment stack and / or is out of contact with the bottom sheet 02 of the attachment stack. Alignment is then carried out, for example, by pressing and aligning the sheet 02 lying on the bottom sheet 02 by the transportation of the bottom sheet 02 against the at least one front stop 137 and / or the at least one front mark 127 before it itself with the at least one accelerating means 136 comes into contact, which then preferably stands still. For example, at least one pressing element and / or deflecting element is arranged, which brings the sheets 02 into contact with the front stop 137 and / or the front mark 127 and is designed, for example, as at least one brush. Thus, the sheets 02 always come into contact in a defined position with the at least one acceleration means 136 and can be transported further in an exactly known position. The height of the at least one front stop 137 and / or the at least one front mark 127 is preferably adjustable in order to be adapted to different thicknesses of sheet 02. As an alternative or in addition, for example the at least one front stop 137 and / or the at least one front mark 127 can be moved, in particular pivoted, in such a way that they only release the further intended transport path of the bottom sheet 02 when it contacts at least one front stop 137 and / or this at least one front mark 127 was aligned. For example, if the substrate feed device 100 has at least one front mark 127 and / or at least one front stop 137, the contact device 300 is preferably part of the substrate feed device 100 and further preferably part of the separating device 109.

An adaptation to different widths of sheets 02 to be processed is preferably possible. The width of a sheet 02 is to be understood in particular to mean its dimension in the transverse direction A. The at least one side stop and / or the at least one side mark is preferably provided in that the side stops, in particular side walls, can be moved with respect to the transverse direction A and in particular can be arranged to match the width of the sheets 02. As a result, the sheets 02 can slide along the side walls during their movement, which is caused by removal of the bottom sheet 02 and is preferably directed downward, and can be brought into an aligned position and / or held therein. Alternatively, at least one active movement, in particular driven by a drive, of the sheets 02 against at least one side stop is provided, for example in the case of a sheet 02 resting essentially and / or at least with respect to the transport direction T. A lateral alignment takes place, for example, before and / or during and / or after the acceleration of the sheet 02 with respect to the transport direction T. As an alternative or in addition to mechanical front stops 137 and / or side stops, corresponding position sensors are arranged which move and / or stop and / or the respective sheet 02 in the respective direction with a correspondingly precise drive move superimposed during its transport movement to align it.

An adaptation to different lengths of sheets 02 to be processed is preferably possible. A length of a sheet 02 is to be understood in particular to mean its dimension in the transport direction T and / or its horizontal dimension oriented orthogonally to the transverse direction A. The adaptation preferably takes place in that the at least one front stop 137 and / or more preferably the at least one back stop 141 can be moved and / or is moved with respect to the transport direction T and in particular can be arranged and / or arranged in a manner adapted to the length of the sheets 02. By changing the location of the Backstop 141 results, for example, in a different position of the beginning of the storage device 134 in relation to the transport direction T. In particular, to compensate for this, a transport means 111 arranged in front of the storage device 134 with respect to the transport direction T is preferably designed to be variable in its effective length in relation to the transport direction T. For this purpose, this means of transport 111 has, for example, a first number of transport elements or conveyor belts which are unchangeable with respect to their effective range. These are designed, for example, as conveyor belts. This means of transport 111 preferably additionally has, for example, a second number of transport elements which are variable in terms of their effective range. These are designed, for example, as transport elements and / or transport belts which can be displaced overall at least with respect to the transport direction T. Appropriate displacement of the displaceable transport elements in and / or counter to the transport direction T results in a changed effective length of the entirety of transport elements that are unchangeable in terms of their effective range and transport elements that are variable in terms of their effective range.

Alternatively or additionally, the substrate feed device 100 is characterized in that the substrate feed device 100 has at least one transport means 119 which is arranged downstream of the storage device 134 with respect to the transport direction T and which is variable in its effective length related to the transport direction T.

The at least one buffer stack serves in particular to ensure a continuous replenishment of sheets 02. Corrugated cardboard sheets 02 in particular have relatively large thicknesses, that is to say dimensions in the vertical direction V. As a result, stacks 104 of corrugated cardboard sheet 02 are processed particularly quickly by separation. For an uninterrupted replenishment of sheet 02 to processing machine 01, buffering sheet 02, which are at least partially processed, is therefore advantageous can, while the feeder stack 104 is exchanged or renewed. For this purpose, sheets 02 are preferably conveyed from the feeder stack 104 to the buffer stack at least partially faster than these later and / or other sheets 02 at the same time in the processing machine 01 and in particular in its coating unit 400; 600; 800 promoted and / or coated. The buffer stack then decreases during the renewal of the feeder stack 104 and is then refilled, while sheet 02 is removed from it, in particular by means of the at least one metering element, preferably at a uniform speed, in particular from below, and fed to the investment stack. Preferably, the at least one means of transport 111 arranged in front of the storage device 134 and in particular after the feeder stack 104 and / or after a main stack carrier provided for the feeder stack 104 can be operated at a respective time with a speed that is different and more preferably at least temporarily higher is as a coating speed or printing speed at which sheet 02 passes through the at least one coating unit 400; 600; 800 can be transported. A drive M100 of the substrate feed device 100 assigned to this means of transport 111 is preferably independent of a coating unit 400; 600; 800 assigned drive M400; M600; M800 operable.

Sheets 02 are preferably fed to the storage device 134 from above. More preferably, these sheets 02 are fed to the storage device 134 completely singly or at least partially singly. The sheets 02 are preferably fed to the storage device 134 by first removing them from a feeder stack 104. For this purpose, sheets 02 are completely or partially separated.

This separation before being fed into the storage device 134 takes place, for example, as already described, from below, in particular by means of a lower transport means 111, on which the sheets 02 lie as a stack 104 or preferably as Sub-stacks 106 run at least partially against the obstacle 112 and, depending on the setting of the obstacle 112, are isolated or incompletely isolated, that is, scaled. For example, this results in an overlap, in which a respective subsequent sheet 02 is partially arranged on a respective sheet 02 preceding it. The sheets 02 are then conveyed by means of the transport means 111 until they enter the storage device 134 at the end thereof. This is preferably done by the sheets 02 falling into a shaft of the storage device 134. This shaft is formed, for example, by the at least one front stop 137 and / or the at least one rear stop 141 and / or the at least one side stop. At least one pressure roller 146 and / or pressure roller 146 is preferably arranged, which presses sheet 02 against the transport means 111 which is arranged directly upstream of the shaft. As a result, the sheets 02 can be fed to the shaft in a controlled manner. The shaft preferably has a cross-sectional area that becomes smaller downwards. As a result, an alignment of the sheets 02 can already be achieved when the sheets 02 descend, in particular with respect to the transport direction T and / or with respect to the transverse direction A. The descending sheets 02 then in turn become the top sheet 02 of the subsequent storage stack, which is preferably the Buffer stack is.

An alternative, at least partial separation of the sheets 02 of the stack 104 or a partial stack 106, which is in particular designed as a feeder stack 104, or partial stack 106 is preferably carried out by a main part of the stack 104 remaining at least essentially unchanged with respect to the transport direction T each time a sheet 02 is removed and only optionally continuously or is gradually raised. The main part of the stack 104 preferably consists of all sheets 02 of the stack 104 that have not yet been removed. The substrate feed device 100 preferably has at least one removal device 114 which acts and / or is capable of acting on the sheet 02 of the stack 104 from above. By means of the at least one removal device 114, an uppermost sheet 02 of the stack 104 is preferably individually detectable and / or transportable. The at least one removal device 114 has, for example, at least one handling element 116, preferably designed as a lifting element 116 and / or holding element 116, which is preferably designed as at least one lifting suction device 116 and / or as at least one separating suction device 116 and / or as at least one transport suction device 116. The at least one lifting element 116 can preferably be moved with at least one component in particular in the vertical direction V upwards and counter to the vertical direction V downwards. At least one blowing device, not shown, is preferably arranged, in particular with respect to the transport direction T, in front of the removal device 114. This serves, for example, to facilitate the separation of the uppermost sheet 02 from the sheet 02 underneath. The removal device 114 further preferably has at least one upper translation element 117. The at least one upper translation element 117 is preferably used for at least one movement of the sheets 02 in the intended transport direction T, for example up to a further, in particular outgoing transport means 119 of the substrate feed device 100 or up to a further unit 200; 300; 400; 500; 550; 600; 700; 800; 900; 1000 or up to a means of transport 111 leading to the storage device 134. The further transport means 119 of the substrate feed device 100 preferably ensures further transport of the sheets 02, in particular in the transport direction T and / or up to an exit 121 of the substrate feed device 100.

For example, the at least one handling element 116, in particular lifting element 116 and / or holding element 116, is arranged on the at least one upper translation element 117 and can be moved together with the latter, in particular in and against the vertical direction V and / or in and against the transport direction T. The removal device In this regard, 114 is then constructed, for example, like a known sheet separator 114. Using such a sheet separator 114, an uppermost sheet 02 is grasped, in particular sucked in, then preferably at least slightly raised and at least also in the intended transport direction T moves until it enters an area of influence of another facility that continues to transport. Such a sheet separator 114 is characterized, for example, by the fact that its upper translation element 117 performs an oscillating movement and / or moves at least and preferably exactly once in the transport direction T per sheet 02 and then reverses and at least and preferably exactly once per sheet 02 Transport direction T moves.

Alternatively, the at least one upper translation element 117 can be operated and / or moved separately from the at least one handling element 116, in particular lifting element 116 and / or holding element 116. For example, the at least one upper translation element 117 is designed as a transport means 117, in particular a suction transport means 117 and preferably as a suction belt 117 and / or suction box belt 117 and / or roller suction system 117, the suction openings 722 or suction openings 724 of which preferably also at least or only point downward and / or Suction is preferably at least also or only directed upwards. The removal device 114 is then preferably characterized in that the upper translation element 117 executes a circumferential movement. The at least one lifting element 116 can then preferably be moved so far upwards that a sheet 02 held by it comes into contact with the at least one upper translation element 117 or at least comes so far into its area of influence that, when the at least one lifting element 116 is subsequently deactivated, the Arch from the at least one upper translation element 117 is durable. For example, the at least one lifting element 116 can be moved so far upwards that each area of the at least one lifting element 116 provided as the contact area of the at least one lifting element 116 with the arch 02 is as high as or higher than each area as the contact area of the at least one upper translation element 117 with the Arc 02 provided region of the at least one upper translation element 117 is arranged. This area provided as the contact area is, for example, the transport surface 718 or counter pressure surface 718 of the upper translation element 117. In one embodiment, the at least one lifting element 116 can be moved so far upwards that a sheet 02 held by it comes into contact with the at least one upper translation element 117, in particular with its transport surface 718 or counter-pressure surface 718, and from the at least one upper translation element 117 at least in the transport direction T, while the at least one lifting element 116 also ensures that the sheet 02 is pulled against the at least one upper transport element 117. The at least one lifting element 116 then acts, for example, at least in its raised position as part of the at least one upper translation element 117, more preferably without being movable itself in the transport direction T. In particular, this is preferably the case if the at least one upper translation element 117 is designed as a roller suction system 117. Alternatively, however, this is also the case if the at least one upper translation element 117 is designed as a suction belt 117 and / or as a suction box belt 117.

Depending on the mode of operation, a stream of completely isolated sheet 02 or a stream of shingled sheet 02 can be generated. This is dependent, for example, on a ratio of an average transport speed of the sheets 02 in the transport direction T to a frequency with which the sheets 02 are removed from the stack 104.

Irrespective of further configurations of the at least one substrate feed device 100, it preferably has at least one outfeed transport means 119, which is further preferred as suction transport means 119 and / or as at least one transport roller 119 or at least one pair of transport rollers 119 and / or as at least one forming a transport gap Transport gap forming pair of conveyor belts 119 is formed. The outgoing transport means 119 is used, for example, to discharge sheets 02 from the substrate feed device 100, in particular to an exit 121 of the substrate feed device 100. For example, at least one pressure roller 122 and / or pressure roller 122, which in particular interacts with the outgoing transport means 119, is arranged.

The substrate feed device 100 in particular, regardless of the separation from above and / or from below, preferably has at least one separate drive M100 or motor M100, in particular electric motor M100 or position-controlled electric motor M100, which further preferably has at least one means of transport 111; 117; 119 of the substrate feed device 100 is arranged to be capable of driving and / or driving. In particular if at least one acceleration means 119; 136 is arranged, the substrate feed device 100 preferably has at least one first further drive M101; M103 or motor M101; M103, in particular electric motor M101; M103 or position-controlled electric motor M101; M103, which further preferably has at least one acceleration means 119; 136 of the substrate feed device 100 is arranged to be capable of driving and / or driving. The at least one first further drive M101; M103 also becomes primary drive M101; M103 or primary accelerator M101; M103 called the substrate feed device 100. For example, the substrate feed device 100 preferably has at least one second further own drive M102 or motor M102, in particular electric motor M102 or position-controlled electric motor M102, which further preferably has at least one outgoing transport means 119 and / or at least one after the at least one in particular primary acceleration means 136 on sheet 02 acting and / or capable of acting transport means 119 or secondary accelerating means 119 of the substrate feed device 100 is arranged to drive and / or to drive. At least the first further drive M101; M103 and / or at least the second further drive M102 independently of further drives M100; M101; M102; M103 of the substrate feed device can be driven.

The preferably designed as an aggregate 100 and / or as a module 100 Substrate feed device 100 is preferably additionally or alternatively characterized in that the section of the transport path provided for sheet 02 defined by substrate feed device 100 ends at an initial height of substrate feed device 100. This section of the transport route provided for sheet 02 and preferably the entire transport route provided for sheet 02 preferably begins with the separation of sheets 02. The initial height of the substrate feed device 100 preferably deviates from the first standard height by at most 5 cm, more preferably at most 1 cm and even further preferably by at most 2 mm.

For example, the sheets 02 are fed directly from the substrate feed device 100 to a contact device 300, which can also be part of the substrate feed device 100, for example. Alternatively, the sheets 02 are first fed to at least one preparation device 200.

Preferably, at least one preparation device 200 is related to the intended transport route after a substrate feed device 100 and / or before at least one coating unit 400; 600; 800 arranged. The at least one preparation device 200 preferably has at least one action device 201. The at least one action device 201 is designed, for example, as a calender 201 and / or as a moistening device 201 and / or as a discharge device 201 and / or as an inerting device 201 and / or as a cleaning device 201 and / or as a deburring device 201 and / or as an inspection device 201. A cleaning device 201 is designed, for example, as a suction device 201 and / or as a blowing device 201 and / or as a wiping device 201 and / or is preferably used to remove pieces of paper and / or dust. An inspection device 201 has, for example, at least one and preferably several, in particular at least two, in particular optical sensors, which are designed, for example, as a camera and / or in particular in the transverse direction A are arranged to be mechanically movable. Such sensors can be used, for example, to register the orientation of incoming sheets 02, in particular for further processing. Alternatively or additionally, these sensors serve to record and / or check dimensions of the sheets 02, for example for a comparison with order data. The acting device 201 is, for example, within a further unit 100; 300; 400; 500; 550; 600; 700; 800; 900; 1000 or module 100; 300; 400; 500; 550; 600; 700; 800; 900; 1000 arranged, in particular aligned to the intended transport route and / or acting and / or able to act. However, the preparation device 200 is preferably designed as an independent unit 200 and more preferably module 200.

The preparation device 200 preferably has at least one transport means 211, which is further preferably designed as a suction transport means 211. What has been described above and below using suction transport means preferably applies accordingly. The preparation device 200 preferably has at least one separate drive M200 or motor M200, in particular electric motor M200 or position-controlled electric motor M200, which is further preferably arranged to drive and / or drive the at least one transport means 211. For example, the preparation device 200 has at least one pressure roller 202 or pressure roller 202, by means of which the sheet 02 can be subjected to a force against the at least one transport means 211. The preparation device 200 preferably has at least one transfer means 03 for sheets 02. The section of the transport path provided for sheet 02, which is defined by the preparation device 200, is preferably essentially flat and more preferably completely flat and is preferably essentially and more preferably designed to run exclusively horizontally.

Preferably, the preparation device 200, which is preferably designed as a unit 200 and / or module 200, is alternatively or additionally characterized in that the section of the sheet 02 provided by the preparation device 200 is provided Transport route begins at an entrance height of the preparation device 200 and / or ends at an exit height of the preparation device 200. The preparation device 200 is preferably distinguished by the fact that this entrance height of the preparation device 200 deviates from the first standard height by at most 5 cm, more preferably at most 1 cm and even more preferably by at most 2 mm, and / or that the exit height of the preparation device 200 differs from the first Standard height deviates by at most 5 cm, more preferably at most 1 cm and even more preferably by at most 2 mm and / or that the respective entrance height of the preparation device 200 differs from the exit height of the preparation device 200 by at most 5 cm, more preferably at most 1 cm and even more preferably deviates by a maximum of 2 mm.

For example, sheets 02 are gradually accelerated by means of the substrate feed device 100 and / or at least one contact device 300. For this purpose, for example, at least one primary acceleration means 136 and at least one secondary acceleration means 119 are arranged. The primary acceleration means 136 preferably accelerates the sheets 02 to a first speed and the secondary acceleration means 119 later accelerates the sheets 02 preferably to a second speed, for example the printing speed. As a result, no acceleration means 119; 136 accelerated and decelerated between a standstill and the second speed. Accelerated acceleration is eliminated. Instead, it is sufficient for the primary acceleration means 136, for example, if it is accelerated and braked between a standstill and the first speed. In one embodiment, the second acceleration means is accelerated up to the second speed and then braked again to a minimum speed. This minimum speed is preferably equal to the first speed. Alternatively, this minimum speed is greater than the first speed. The sheets 02 are then transferred between the primary acceleration means 136 and the Secondary accelerator 119 accelerated by a relative speed between the secondary accelerator on the one hand and arc 02 on the other hand and by appropriate friction until they are moved at the second speed. The sheets 02 are thus pulled along and accelerated.

A method for operating a sheet-fed printing press 01 is preferred, sheets 02 originating from a stack 104 being separated and the sheets 02 each using at least one by a primary drive M101; M103 driven primary acceleration means 136 of a substrate feed device 100 are accelerated to a first speed and the sheets 02 are then each driven by at least one secondary drive driven by a secondary drive M102 Accelerating means 119 of the substrate feed device 100 are accelerated to a second speed and the sheets 02 are transported along a transport path from the substrate feed device 100 to at least one printing module 600 and the sheets 02 are then each at least at a printing speed by means of at least one drive M600 of the at least one printing module 600 transported through the respective printing module 600 and thereby printed in this respective printing module 600 and the first speed being lower than the printing speed.

As an alternative or in addition, the method is preferably distinguished by the fact that braking the at least one secondary acceleration means 119 in each case does not bring about braking of the respective arc 02 which was accelerated directly beforehand with this secondary acceleration means 119.

As an alternative or in addition, the method is preferably distinguished in that the first speed is at least 10%, more preferably at least 20% and even more preferably at least 30% lower than the printing speed.

As an alternative or in addition, the method is preferably characterized in that the sheets 02 are printed from above in the at least one printing module 600.

As an alternative or in addition, the method is preferably characterized in that the sheets 02 in the at least one printing module 600 are printed from above by means of a non-impact printing method and / or by means of an inkjet printing method.

As an alternative or in addition, the method is preferably distinguished in that the substrate feed device 100 is designed as a module 100 of the sheet-fed printing press 01.

As an alternative or in addition, the method is preferably characterized in that the at least one primary acceleration means 136 is brought into contact with the sheets 02 on a respective underside of the sheets 02, in particular exclusively on the respective underside, and / or in that the at least one secondary acceleration means 119 has at least one transport gap in which the sheets 02 are at least partially arranged, while the at least one secondary acceleration means 119 accelerates them to the second speed.

As an alternative or in addition, the method is preferably characterized in that during the acceleration by means of the at least one primary acceleration means 136 a displacement of the respective arc 02 with respect to the transverse direction A and / or a pivoting movement of the respective arc 02 about a pivot axis running orthogonally to the transverse direction A. and / or a phase position of the respective sheet 02 is set to at least one subsequent component of the sheet-fed printing press 01 that transports the sheet 02. Prefers The method is alternatively or additionally characterized in that during the acceleration by means of the at least one secondary acceleration means 119, a displacement of the respective arc 02 with respect to the transverse direction A and / or a pivoting movement of the respective arc 02 about a pivot axis and orthogonal to the transverse direction A. / or a phase position of the respective sheet 02 is set to at least one subsequent component of the sheet-fed printing press 01 that transports the sheet 02. A setting of a phase position is to be understood here in particular to mean that the movement of the sheet 02 along its transport path and the movement of the subsequent component of the sheet-fed printing press 01 transporting the sheet 02 are coordinated with one another such that a predetermined location of the sheet 02 can be, for example leading end comes into contact with a predetermined location of the component transporting the sheet 02. For this purpose, for example, a movement of the sheet 02 along its transport path is accelerated positively and / or negatively and / or the component transporting the sheet 02 is accelerated positively and / or negatively in particular before it comes into contact with this sheet 02.

For example, if, as described, a plurality of subsets of primary acceleration devices 136 are arranged as the at least one primary acceleration device 136, the method is preferably alternatively or additionally characterized in that the subsets of primary acceleration devices 136 execute different movements. For example, a bottom sheet 02 of a stack is initially in contact with accelerating means 136 of several of the subsets. Then these subsets are preferably accelerated synchronously and thereby drive this arc 02. As a result of the movement of this sheet 02, this sheet 02 becomes out of contact with the first primary acceleration means 136 relating to the transport path of the sheet 02 and subsequently with further primary acceleration means 136. Preference is given to the primary acceleration elements 136 in a movement cycle relating to an arc 02 at least the first primary accelerating means 136 related to the transport path of the sheet 02 is braked and / or stopped earlier than the last primary accelerating means 136 related to the transport path of the sheet 02. This prevents a subsequent sheet 02 from moving at all or too quickly moving primary acceleration means 136 comes into contact, although this subsequent sheet 02 is not yet supposed to move along the transport path. For example, several or all primary acceleration means 136 are stopped in this way whenever a first sheet 02 is just out of contact with it, and all primary acceleration means 136 are then accelerated together again in a movement cycle related to a subsequent sheet 02.

For example, if several spacers 144.1; 144.2 are arranged to be movable independently of one another at least with respect to the vertical direction V, the method is preferably alternatively or additionally characterized in that first the respective bottom sheet 02 of the corresponding stack is on a first spacer 144.1 related to the intended transport path of the sheet 02 and on one second spacer 144.2 rests on the intended transport path of the sheet 02 without touching the primary acceleration means 136. These spacers 144.1; 144.2 are then in their respective holding positions. The first spacer 144.1 and the second spacer 144.2 are then preferably lowered, as a result of which contact is made between the lowermost sheet 02 and the primary acceleration means 136. The primary accelerators 136 accelerate the sheet along its travel path. Then first the spacer 144.1 along the intended transport path is raised, so that the initially lowest sheet 02 comes out of contact with at least one of the primary acceleration means 136. In this way it is prevented that a subsequent sheet 02 comes into contact with a primary accelerating means 136 that is moving at all or is moving too quickly, although this subsequent sheet 02 is in contact should not yet move along the transport route.
