A device for positioning a plate element () in an infeed station () of a machine for treating the element (), fitted with a conveyor (), gripping the element () which is found in a predetermined intermediate position, and carrying the element () in a rated running into successive processing stations (). The device includes a holding device () for temporarily holding the element (), the holding device moving longitudinally alternatively (A) from an upstream position to a downstream position, and vice-versa, to pick up the element () in a rear position and bring it to the intermediate position, and to return empty. A motor () moves the holding device () longitudinally, from the upstream position to the downstream position, and vice-versa, as a function of the rated running. A detector () detects a rear longitudinal position in which the element () is found, and emits a position signal. The motor () is able to move (A, Aa, Ab, Ac) the holding device () from the upstream position to various downstream positions, as a function of the signal emitted by the detection device (), so as to bring the element () from the rear position to the intermediate position.

Device for positioning a plate element in an infeed station of a processing machine

A station for loading plate elements (), from an initial pile of the elements in a storage device () to an infeed station for a machine for processing the elements. An unloading device () unloads the elements () from the initial pile (). An intermediate storage device (), stores the unloaded elements () in the form of an intermediate batch () and is positioned downstream of the unloading device (), a conveyor device () for conveying the elements () from the storage device () to the infeed station, and a shingling device () for shingling the elements () and being positioned downstream of the storage device ().
