device and method for dividing a stack of sheets in giant predetermined number

摘要

The procedure for the destacking of a defined number of sheets in a ream entails gripping of a residual ream (91) as a complete ream by a gripper (40), whereby a residual ream is assumed if the number of sheets of the pile remaining at the disposal location is less than the predetermined number of sheets which comprises a ream. The residual ream is moved away from the disposal location, a new pile (93) of sheets is made available at the disposal location, and the residual ream is moved back onto the new pile and laid upon it. An independent claim is included for a device for the destacking of a defined number of sheets in a ream.
