Abstract
A method for the positionally accurate feeding of sheet-like objects to a treatment process, the objects being conveyed in succession in a lying position and being aligned during the conveyance. Rotational movement of the conveyed object is carried out to correct a skew position of the front edge of the object, a lateral movement of the object is carried out transversely, in particular at right angles, to the conveying direction for lateral alignment purposes, and an accelerated or decelerated longitudinal movement in the conveying direction is carried out for longitudinal alignment of the object, all the alignment movements being carried out on the surface of an object and without any mechanical alignment action on one or more peripheral edges of the object.
