Abstract
A conveyor system ( ) for a sheet of printing material ( ) in a printing material processing machine ( ), including a running member ( ) which can be moved through the machine ( ) along a transport path ( ) using a drive ( ), and including a number of encoders ( ) which are arranged along the transport path ( ) and used to sense the position of the running member ( ), the conveyor system having the feature that the encoders ( ) are connected to an evaluation unit ( ) for progressive sampling of the encoder signals; it being possible for an active encoder ( ) and a passive encoder ( ) of the number of encoders ( ) to be specified in the evaluation unit ( ) so that a drive signal can be generated in a signal processor unit ( ) on the basis of a change in amplitude of the signal of the active encoder ( ) and a change in amplitude of the signal of the passive encoder ( ).
