A device for the alignment of the side position of a main stack of sheets that is provided with a remaining stack carried by a non-stop device for cleaning has the side position of the main stack and of the remaining stack each detected by a sensor device. The side position of the main stack is matched to the side position of the remaining stack by adjusting elements touching the stack carrier car...

The first part of moving out the spikes takes place at increased speed and the last part takes place at lower speed. Through the staggered movement the remaining sheet stack (5) passes into the areas of the different spikes at different times so that the sheets slide smoothly from the spikes (15) onto the sheet stack (3). ADVANTAGE - Accurate alignment of the sheets. By avoiding sudden loads the s...

On activating a brake pedal after returning 'NO' in the first six check stages (S1-S6), after confirming neutral status (S7) and after returning 'YES' in check stage nine (S9), the output voltage of an induction motor is adjusted. If a value (V) for the instantaneous speed of the truck is greater than or equal to a threshold value (t), braking power can be constant without relying on its instantan...
