Abstract
The braking device comprises at least one flexible braking means ( ) extending across the trajectory of the sheets ( ) and mounted so as to pivot around a transverse axis ( ) so that its trajectory around the axis intersects the trajectory of the sheets ( ), the direction of rotation of the end of the flexible braking means ( ) and intersecting the trajectory of the sheets ( ) being opposite the direction of motion of the sheets, and also comprises drive means for pivoting the braking means ( ) in dependence on the longitudinal dimensions of the sheets ( ) and the frequency with which they pass. The means driving the braking means ( ) around the transverse axis ( ) comprise a variable-speed electromagnetic actuator ( ) connected to control means which in real time record the parameters relating to the longitudinal dimension of the sheets and the frequency with which they pass.
