Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1348661A1] A sheet depositing device for a sheet processing apparatus, comprising a feeding section for sequentially feeding sheets or sets of sheets from said sheet processing apparatus, at least one sheet stacking element movable along a guide, for facilitating depositing said sheets or sets of sheets fed by said feeding section in said sheet depositing device, and a sensor arrangement for detecting the position of a sheet stacking element along the guide. <??>The sensor arrangement comprises a stationary linear array of active elements and a passive element moving in unison with said sheet stacking element, said active and passive elements being of a kind that interact through the use of electric or magnetic fields and being positioned closely together in the array. <??>Examples of such sensors are: an array of conductive fields arranged in parallel to a conductive strip or a second array of conductive fields, and a conductive plate, connected to a capacitance meter, an array of Hall-effect sensors, and a magnet. <IMAGE>
