Abstract (en)

The system for separating unexposed printing plates (1) from a stack for automatic feeding to an exposure unit comprises a separating plate (3) with suction cups (4, 5) which is applied to the top plate. The central cups (5) are then raised to bend the plate and air is blown in to lift it. An independent claim is included for a method for separating unexposed printing plates from a stack.
