Abstract:
1. An apparatus for feeding print products, conveyed to a processing device, the apparatus comprising: a machine frame; a feeding device coupled to the machine frame, the feeding device including a first conveyor and a downstream-connected second conveyor, the first conveyor conveying a stack of print products in a conveying direction toward the downstream-connected second conveyor, the second conveyor transforming the stack taken from the first conveyor into an overlapping flow in the conveying direction; a guide arrangement associated with the first conveyor and including side-adjustable guide members to align the stack of the print products, the guide members having a longitudinal center axis coinciding with a longitudinal center axis of the conveyed flow of print products; a support coupled to the machine frame which runs along the longitudinal center axis of the conveyed flow and moves with shifting of the longitudinal center axis of the conveyed flow; a spindle drive connected to the support to adjust a position of the support and the longitudinal axis of the conveyed flow transversely to the conveying direction; a controlled servomotor drivingly connected to the spindle drive to adjust the support and guide members, wherein the controlled servomotor adjusts the guide members of the guide arrangement transversely to move the longitudinal center axis of the guide members relative to the direction of the conveyed flow of print products and the controlled servomotor adjusts the guide members symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal center axis of the conveyed flow.
