Abstract

According to some embodiments of the invention, a method for separating sheets is provided. The method comprises positioning onto a stack of sheets (16) grippers (60) having suction cups (66) attached to vertical rods (64) then applying vacuum to the suction cups (66), and while maintaining the vacuum, raising the rods (64) to lift one or more of sheets and then vertically moving the rods (64) up and down according to a predefined motion scheme.
