Abstract
A device for positioning a plate element () in an infeed station () of a machine for treating the element (), fitted with a conveyor (), gripping the element () which is found in a predetermined intermediate position, and carrying the element () in a rated running into successive processing stations (). The device includes a holding device () for temporarily holding the element (), the holding device moving longitudinally alternatively (A) from an upstream position to a downstream position, and vice-versa, to pick up the element () in a rear position and bring it to the intermediate position, and to return empty. A motor () moves the holding device () longitudinally, from the upstream position to the downstream position, and vice-versa, as a function of the rated running. A detector () detects a rear longitudinal position in which the element () is found, and emits a position signal. The motor () is able to move (A, Aa, Ab, Ac) the holding device () from the upstream position to various downstream positions, as a function of the signal emitted by the detection device (), so as to bring the element () from the rear position to the intermediate position.
