Stacks of blanks arranged in substantially orderly manner on a supporting surface are picked up successively by a powered pickup head for supply to a user machine; the pickup head presenting a pair of intercepting sensors for simultaneously intercepting a given reference edge of the stack when the head is set to the correct pickup position in relation to the stack; and the pickup head being set to the correct pickup position by means of a series of successive rotary and translational movements in the event only one of the sensors intercepts the reference edge of the stack.
