In some examples, a transport cylinder for transporting a sheet-format substrate includes at least one channel extending on an outer surface of the transport cylinder in an axial direction. Each channel includes at least one gripper, which is supported on a shaft, for holding a substrate on the outer surface of the transport cylinder. Each channel is covered by a respective cover at the outer surface of the transport cylinder. The cover and/or a shaft supporting the at least one gripper may include a cooling unit. In some examples, a drying unit that includes the transport cylinder may further include an electron beam for curing a printing fluid on a substrate on the transport cylinder. In some examples, a printing press may include the drying unit including the transport cylinder.

Transport cylinder, drying unit comprising this transport cylinder, and sheet-fed printing press comprising this drying unit

The invention concerns a device () for aligning at least along one edge several stacked sheets () into a book, while maintaining the serial order of sheets, said device comprising an editing table (), having on one of its sides, a front stop () for aligning the edges of the sheets (). The invention is characterized in that upstream of the editing table () is provided a support plate (), whereon the sheet () can be set into a bound book with non-aligned edges, and is further provided in the device (), a sheet feeder () whereby the sheets can be conveyed from the support plate () towards the front stop () of the editing table (), while forming a stream of subjacent webs.

Device for aligning stacked sheets into a book

The apparatus has at least one optical sensor (), which emits a light beam (), inclined at an angle in relation to the surface of the pallet (), and irradiates the surface of the pallet () at a point of reflection, and supports () with cylinders for displacing the point of reflection by a predetermined distance over the surface of the pallet ().

Device and method for detecting paper sheets on a pallet including a point of reflection displacement

The invention relates to a stacking device for a machine for processing sheets, especially a sheet printing machine. Said device can be displaced between a first stacking position () and a second stacking position (), and comprises carriers for a pallet receiving the stacked sheets in the first stacking position () and the second stacking position (). The inventive device also comprises transport units () for transporting the pallets () from each stacking position () to a single pile of pallets (), and for stacking the pallets () in the pile of pallets ().
