Abstract (en)

Conveying modules (1,2,3,4) have parallel suction belts (11,11a) that exert negative pressure under a printed sheet (200). The belts are guided by mutually spaced deflection rollers (300, 300a) at a start/end of a conveying module (1,2), all positioned on a common shaft (20). A conveying module (2) is designed as a switch with two swivel positions (8,9) to reroute a sheet. The switch is mounted about a swivel axis (19,19a). The end of a conveying module is displaced with respect to the start of the subsequent conveying module (3,4) in order to transfer a printed sheet. An independent claim is included for a method for operating a device for conveying sheet-like articles.
