     BACKGROUND 
     Web- or sheet-like materials are used in the production of packaging. For example, sheets are imprinted, embossed, creased, perforated, die-cut, cut, stitched, glued and, for example, folded into packaging in multiple processing steps. To optimally utilize the surface area of a sheet, in general multiple identical or different copies, for example of a poster, a folding box or a packaging, are printed on a common sheet and then die-cut. These copies are referred to as multiple-up copies. 
     A sheet processing machine can comprise different processing steps, such as imprinting, cutting, embossing, creasing, die cutting, perforating, gluing and/or stitching. Such sheet processing machines frequently also comprise inspection devices. Sheets are typically processed and cut to size in processing machines using tool-dependent die cutting and cutting devices. 
     Such a processing machine is configured as a die cutting, cutting, perforating, embossing and/or creasing machine, for example. When such a processing machine is referred to hereafter as a die cutter and/or a die-cutting machine, in particular also a cutting, perforating, embossing and/or creasing machine is meant. In addition to rotary die cutters, tool-dependent systems also encompass flat die cutters, in particular flat-bed die cutters. 
     In these, multiple sheets are processed consecutively by a cyclically recurring movement. The sheets are preferably moved substantially horizontally through the processing machine by way of a transport system, preferably a chain gripper system. In addition to a die-cutting unit, such a machine usually also comprises other units, such as a sheet infeed unit, a sheet delivery unit, a stripping unit, a sheet insert unit, a multiple-up separating unit and an offcut piece delivery unit. The sheet infeed unit is preferably configured to transfer sheets to the transport system. Additionally, sheets are, for example, aligned in the sheet infeed unit. 
     A device for positioning plate-shaped elements in an infeed unit of a processing machine is known from U.S. Pat. No. 8,727,346 B2, which grips the element in a predefined position and transports it to a successive processing station. 
     DE 10 2005 005 659 B3 shows a handling station for inserting supplements into conveying compartments of a supplement gathering line of a postal processing system. A gripper claw pair of a gripper arm grips the supplement, whereupon the gripper arm pivots about its pivot shaft, and the supplement is deposited onto the supplement gathering line. A sensing roller scans a pivotably mounted guide slot track, which, for the purpose of rapidly opening and closing the gripper claw pair, is briefly pivoted about a guide slot track pivot shaft at the machine cycle. 
     DE 101 11 070 A1 discloses a sheet printing press comprising an infeed system for feeding sheets from a sheet feeder to the sheet printing press, wherein the infeed system comprises at least one oscillatingly moving pregripper and a driving device for the infeed system. The pregripper can be uncoupled from the driving device. The pregripper can be driven with the aid of a lever mechanism. The driving device is configured as a cam drive, wherein a cam disk that is connected to a drive shaft so as to be fixed against rotation cooperates with a first pivoting lever of the lever mechanism which can be pivoted about a fixed axis. A sheet is aligned by way of a pivotable front lay mark and is then accepted by the pre-gripper and transported onwards. 
     DE 102 58 271 A1 discloses a device for preventing a spring-loaded control roller from being lifted off the control cam in gripper control units in sheet-processing machines. A support mechanism is provided, which is arranged separately from the gripper control unit and acts on the control roller with an additional force in critical regions. The support mechanism comprises two pivotably mounted levers, which are subject to the force of a spring element. 
     The teaching of DE 10 2008 031 275 A1 relates to a device for laterally aligning printing substrate sheets comprising a gripper system. Pincer gripper fingers are arranged on a gripper finger shaft, and pincer gripper pads are arranged on a gripper pad shaft at the periphery of the sheet transporting device. One of the two shafts is configured as a hollow shaft and coaxially encloses the respective other shaft. At least the gripper finger shaft is rotatably mounted and drivable in an oscillating manner. In particular, the gripper finger shaft and gripper pad shaft are synchronously adjustable in the axial direction. The gripper pad shaft can be pivoted so as to change the gripper closing position. The pivoting movement is induced by means of a drive by displacing a support point of a sliding bearing of a torque support arm. 
     DE 10 2009 041 230 B4 teaches a method and a device for laterally aligning a sheet in a processing machine. The device comprises at least one sensor for detecting the actual position of the sheet. Before the sheet is picked up by the gripper device, a prealignment of the gripper device is carried out. The gripper device is prealigned to a predefined position in accordance with the actual position of the sheet with respect to its lateral position. 
     A sheet-processing machine is known from WO 2018/206588 A1, which comprises at least one measuring device for detecting a lateral sheet edge of the sheet and a sensor, which is assigned to the lateral region of the transport web, for detecting a mark. 
     SUMMARY 
     It is an object of the invention to devise a sheet processing machine comprising at least one transport means of an infeed system, and a method for changing the relative position of a transport means of an infeed system. 
     This object is attained by a position displacement of a mounting point relative to the axis of rotation which is configured to compensate for at least one position error of at least one sheet. At least one servo drive is configured to adjust the mounting point relative to the axis of rotation, and the at least one servo drive is configured to intervene in a movement that is transmitted from the at least one drive shaft to the at least one transport means. The sheet processing machine includes at least one transport system that is arranged downstream from the at least one infeed system in the transport direction, and includes at least two holding elements that are spaced apart from one another orthogonally to the transport direction. One of the at least two holding elements is in each case spaced apart from a respective assigned transfer element. In a transfer position, at a first distance in the transport direction, by adjusting the mounting point and the axis of rotation relative to one another, the one holding element of the at least two holding elements is spaced apart from the assigned transfer element at a second distance, and the second distance is different from the first distance. Additionally, in some examples, the method includes that the position displacement of the mounting point relative to the axis of rotation compensates for at least one position error of at least one sheet. The mounting point and the axis of rotation are displaced relative to one another by at least one servo drive, and that the at least one servo drive intervenes in a movement that is transmitted from the at least one drive shaft to the at least one transport means. 
     The advantages to be achieved with the invention are, in particular, that feeding of a respective, preferably at least one, sheet in a positionally accurate manner from an infeed unit to at least one unit processing the sheet is ensured by at least one infeed system. Advantageously, a sheet, preferably the at least one sheet, is aligned upstream from a transfer position, and is transferred in the transfer position by the at least one infeed system in an aligned manner to at least one downstream transport system. Preferably, the at least one sheet is, more preferably at least twenty, more preferably at least fifty, more preferably a multiplicity of sheets are preferably consecutively aligned in the infeed system, and preferably consecutively transferred to the downstream transport system. 
     Positioning the, preferably at least one, sheet in an alignment position, in particular on at least two front lay marks, advantageously reduces and/or minimizes a position error of the sheet. The, preferably at least one, sheet is thus rough aligned, in particular with respect to its position relative to at least one transport means, preferably at least one gripper, of the at least one infeed system. In this way, the respective, preferably the at least one, sheet is advantageously held by the at least one transport means in a print-free region of the sheet, in particular subsequent to having been positioned, whereby the impact on a potentially present print image and/or the surface of the sheet is minimized while the sheet is being held and/or transported by the at least one transport means. 
     The, preferably at least one, sheet is advantageously finely aligned while it is transported from the alignment position to the transfer position. The fine alignment is advantageously carried out at least with respect to a position error of the sheet, preferably at least with respect to a position error of the sheet in a transport direction of sheets and/or with respect to a skewed position of the sheet and/or with respect to a lateral position error, in particular in the event of a displacement of the sheet orthogonal to the transport direction of sheets. In particular, the infeed system is configured to finely align the at least one sheet. Advantageously, the at least one sheet is transported in an aligned manner to the processing units and is processed therein in its position which has preferably been aligned by the infeed system. 
     The sheet processing machine comprises at least one transport means of an infeed system. The infeed system comprises at least one cam mechanism, each comprising at least one cam disk and an axis of rotation of the at least one cam disk. At least one scanning element is arranged to rest against the at least one cam disk. The at least one scanning element is connected to the at least one transport means via at least one drive lever. Each of the at least one drive lever has at least one mounting point. The mounting point and the axis of rotation are preferably configured to be adjustable and/or to be adjusted and/or to adjust and/or are adjusted relative to one another. A position displacement of the mounting point relative to the axis of rotation is configured to compensate for at least one position error of at least one sheet. The relative position of the transport means of the infeed system of the sheet processing machine is changed. In this way, optimal feeding of the at least one sheet to a unit that processes the sheet is advantageously ensured. 
     The preferably at least one sheet is advantageously transported from the alignment position to a transfer position by at least one movement of the at least one transport means, preferably of the at least one gripper of the infeed system, along a transport path of sheets, in particular by at least one cam mechanism of the infeed system, more preferably by at least one dual cam mechanism of the infeed system. The at least one cam mechanism is connected to at least one drive shaft, which is driven by an in particular central drive of the sheet processing machine. 
     Advantageously, the at least one cam mechanism is configured as a dual cam mechanism, comprising at least two cam disks in each case, for the transport movement of the, preferably at least one, sheet. When a respective scanning element rests in each case against one of the cam disks of the dual cam mechanism, and at least two scanning elements are arranged on a preferably shared drive lever, preferably all scanning elements advantageously rest, preferably permanently, without clearance against the respective one, preferably the at least one, cam disk. The respective at least one further scanning element is preferably configured as a pressing element of the respective at least one scanning element. 
     The infeed system advantageously comprises at least two cam mechanisms, which are arranged parallel to one another in the transport direction, on at least one, preferably joint, drive shaft. This advantageously allows the driving torque to be simultaneously picked up from the at least one drive shaft. At least one servo drive is preferably assigned to each cam mechanism of the infeed system. The at least one servo drive advantageously intervenes in the at least one cam mechanism. The at least one servo drive advantageously intervenes in a conversion of the torque of the drive shaft into a preferably linear movement of the at least one transport means of the infeed system by the at least one cam mechanism. 
     Advantageously, at least one servo drive is activated and/or controlled by closed-loop control at least for compensating for a skewed position of the sheet. Advantageously, at least two servo drives are additionally activated and/or controlled by closed-loop control at least for compensating for a position error in the transport direction. In addition to a movement of the cam mechanism as a result of the drive of the processing machine, the at least one servo drive is preferably configured to drive, preferably move, the at least one transport means of the infeed system. 
     Advantageously, the at least one drive shaft and at least one holding element of a transport system downstream from the at least one transport means are preferably driven by way of the in particular central drive of the sheet processing machine and/or are mechanically or electronically connected to one another, whereby the at least one transport means and the at least one holding element, downstream therefrom, of the transport system are in particular synchronized and/or can be synchronized in terms of time. As a result of the at least one transport means and the at least one holding element, downstream therefrom, of the transport system being in particular synchronized in terms of time, a collision of the relevant components during a movement of the at least one transport means and/or of the at least one holding element of the transport system, in particular due to, for example, electrical malfunctions, with one another is prevented. 
     The sheet processing machine advantageously comprises at least one sensor device. Preferably, at least one infeed unit of the sheet processing machine comprises the at least one sensor device. The at least one sensor device preferably comprises at least two sensors. The at least two sensors are preferably configured as a camera, whereby preferably both an edge and a printing mark can be detected. Advantageously, the respective, preferably the at least one, sheet is detected in the alignment position by at least one sensor, preferably at least two sensors, in particular at least three sensors. The at least two sensors are preferably configured to detect, and/or detect, at least one edge and/or printing mark of the at least one sheet of the sheets. Advantageously, at least two sensors are arranged parallel to one another and orthogonally to the transport direction, and detect at least one leading edge of the sheet in the alignment position. For example as an alternative or in addition, the at least two sensors detect at least one printing mark of the at least one sheet. The at least two sensors preferably selectively detect, and/or are configured to detect, an edge, preferably a leading edge, and/or at least one printing mark of the at least one sheet. The sheet processing machine, preferably the at least one infeed unit, preferably comprises the at least one infeed system. The at least one sensor device is preferably configured to control by open-loop control and/or closed-loop control at least one servo motor of the infeed system, preferably as a function of the detection of at least one sheet of sheets by the at least two sensors. The ascertained measurement value is advantageously fed to a control system, which controls by closed-loop control and/or open-loop control at least one component of the sheet processing machine, in particular at least one servo drive, as a function of the detected sheet. Advantageously, at least one servo drive is actuated as a function of the preferably selective detection. Advantageously, at least one component of the sheet processing machine is controlled by open-loop control and/or closed-loop control. 
     A detection of the sheet by the at least two sensors in the alignment position advantageously takes place so that the detection zone of the respective, preferably the at least one, sensor has an edge of the sheet and, additionally or alternatively, a printing mark of the sheet. In this way, advantageously both an edge of the sheet and a printing mark of the sheet are detected and/or detectable by the respective, preferably the at least one, sensor. In this way, advantageously both an edge of the sheet and a printing mark of the sheet are detected and/or detectable by the respective, preferably the at least one, sensor, without changing a position of the sensor and/or without changing a position of the detection zone. 
     Advantageously, at least one sensor, for example a third sensor, is arranged so as to detect at least one side edge of the sheet in the alignment position. Advantageously, at least one sensor of the at least two sensors is configured in each case to detect and/or determine the position in the transport direction of the at least one sheet and the position in the transverse direction of the at least one sheet. In this way, the position of the sheet in the transport direction and in the transverse direction and a skewed position of the sheet can preferably be ascertained and/or are ascertained by the at least two sensors. This advantageously allows further sensors and/or a lateral stop, intended to align the sheet in the transverse direction, to be dispensed with. At least one sensor of the at least two sensors is advantageously configured to detect at least one printing mark, the at least one printing mark being integrated into at least one print control strip. This is preferably a space-saving configuration since a larger surface area of the sheet is available for multiple-up copies. 
     The sheet processing machine advantageously comprises the at least one infeed system, wherein the at least one infeed system comprises the at least one transport means including, in each case, at least one upper holder and, in each case, at least one lower holder. Preferably, the at least one transport means in each case can be arranged and/or is arranged in at least three states. Preferably, a maximally closed state corresponds to a minimal distance, and a minimally closed state corresponds to a maximal distance, and an at least one mean state corresponds to at least one mean distance between at least one upper holding surface at least of the respective upper holder of the at least one transport means and at least one lower holding surface of the lower holder of the at least one transport means which is assigned to the respective upper holder. The at least one transport means preferably has the minimally closed state at least once, and the maximally closed state at least once, and the at least one mean state at least once, during a machine cycle. The at least one transport means is preferably arranged in the minimally closed state at least once, and in the maximally closed state at least once, and in the at least one mean state at least once, during a machine cycle. 
     Advantageously, the at least one transport means, preferably the at least one gripper of the infeed system, comprises in each case at least one pivoting and/or pivotable holder. Advantageously, the at least one transport means, preferably the at least one gripper of the infeed system, comprises in each case at least one pivoting and/or pivotable holder so that a distance between at least one upper holder and at least one lower holder of the at least one transport means is preferably settable and/or set, in particular via at least one cam mechanism. The at least one upper holder advantageously has at least a mean distance with respect to the at least one lower holder of the at least one transport means while the sheet is being positioned in the alignment position. At a mean distance between the at least one upper holder and the at least one lower holder, the sheet is advantageously at least partially fixed at least in one spatial direction, in particular at least in the vertical direction. This advantageously enables positioning and/or a rough alignment within the transport path in the alignment position, preferably at least in the transverse direction and/or in the transport direction, wherein the sheet is at least partially, preferably completely, fixed with respect to its vertical position. The at least one mean distance is advantageously set and/or settable to a maximum thickness of the sheets to be transported. The mean distance is preferably settable for each sheet so that, in each case, at least partial fixation in the vertical direction exists while the respective, preferably the at least one, sheet is being positioned in the alignment position, and the respective, preferably the at least one, sheet at least partially has freedom of movement in the transport direction and/or orthogonal to the transport direction. 
     The distance between the at least one upper holder and the at least one lower holder is advantageously varied by at least one cam disk being scanned by at least one scanning element. Using a transmission shaft, which is advantageously eccentrically mounted in an adjusting shaft, the mean distance between the at least one upper holder and the at least one lower holder is advantageously set. The axis of rotation of the transmission shaft is advantageously adjusted relative to the axis of rotation of the adjusting shaft, preferably prompted by at least one servo drive, whereby the preferably upper holder and/or the lower holder are advantageously raised and/or lowered. Advantageously, the position of a scanning element at the at least one cam disk is preferably almost not influenced by an adjustment of the axis of rotation of the transmission shaft relative to the axis of rotation of the adjusting shaft. 
     Further advantages are apparent from the following description.

A simple and rapid evaluation of the at least one printing mark  11  preferably takes place when the printing mark has at least one straight edge or side, in particular when it is configured as a rectangle and/or a square. The at least one printing mark  11  is preferably filled with printing color, for example black. Preferably, at least one side and/or axis of the at least one printing mark  11  is arranged parallel to the leading edge  07  of the at least one sheet  02  and/or parallel to the transverse direction A. Preferably, at least one side and/or axis of the at least one printing mark  11  is arranged parallel to the side edge  09  of the at least one sheet  02  and/or parallel to the transport direction T. If the at least one printing mark  11  is configured as a rectangle, for example, preferably a square, at least one side is preferably arranged parallel to the transport direction T and at least one side is arranged parallel to the transverse direction A. If the at least one printing mark  11  is configured as a cross, for example, at least one axis, for example the longitudinal axis, is preferably arranged parallel to the transport direction T, and at least one axis, for example the transverse axis, is arranged parallel to the transverse direction A. The at least one printing mark  11  preferably enables a plurality of measurement points, which can be used to evaluate position information of the at least one sheet  02 . The arrangement of the at least one printing mark  11  and/or the configuration as a rectangle, preferably a square, and/or the configuration as a cross preferably increase the accuracy of the evaluation of the at least one printing mark  11 . The at least one printing mark  11  preferably has a surface area of at least 1.5 mm 2  (one point five square millimeters), more preferably at least 1.8 mm 2  (one point eight square millimeters), more preferably at least 1.9 mm 2  (one point nine square millimeters), more preferably at least 2.5 mm 2  (two point five square millimeters). The at least one printing mark  11  preferably has a surface area of no more than 25 mm 2  (twenty-five square millimeters), more preferably no more than 22 mm 2  (twenty-two square millimeters), more preferably no more than 20 mm 2  (twenty square millimeters), more preferably no more than 17 mm 2  (seventeen square millimeters). In this way, it is preferably possible to optimally detect the at least one printing mark  11  since blurring of the edge regions of the printing mark  11  is minimized and/or since the surface area generates sufficient contrast compared to its surrounding environment. 
     The at least one printing mark  11  is preferably configured so that the position of the at least one sheet  02  in the transport direction T and/or in the transverse direction A is preferably determined and/or can be determined by the at least one printing mark  11 . Preferably, the position of the at least one sheet  02  in the transport direction T and in the transverse direction A is determined and/or can be determinable by the at least one printing mark  11 . More preferably, the position of the at least one sheet  02  in the transport direction T and/or in the transverse direction A is determined and/or can be determined by at least two printing marks  11 , more preferably by no more than four printing marks  11 , more preferably by two printing marks  11 , the at least two printing marks  11  preferably being positioned on the at least one sheet  02  in a region along the leading edge  07  of the at least one sheet  02  and/or the at least two printing marks  11  preferably being positioned on the at least one sheet  02  parallel next to one another in the transport direction T and/or the at least two printing marks  11  being integrated into the at least one print control strip. For example, the at least two printing marks  11  are sufficient and/or, in addition to the at least two printing marks  11 , preferably no further printing mark  11 , for example lateral printing mark  11 , is necessary to determine the position of the at least one sheet  02 , in particular in the transverse direction A. 
     Above and below, a distance between two surface areas or between two points or between one surface area and one point or between one direction and one further element describes the shortest connection between these two elements. 
     A sheet  02  to be transported by the infeed unit  200 , preferably the at least one sheet  02 , for example, has at least one position error when arriving at the alignment position PA. The position error of a sheet  02  describes a deviation of its positioning along the transport path relative to a target positioning. This is the case, for example, in the case of a position error in the transport direction T when the time at which the leading edge  07  and/or at least one printing mark  11  of the sheet  02  actually arrive at the alignment position PA deviates from an expected and/or required time at which the leading edge  07  and/or at least one printing mark  11  of the sheet  02  arrive. For example, if a sheet  02  arrives at the alignment position PA at a later time than expected and/or required, its leading edge  07  and/or the relevant at least one printing mark  11  are situated upstream from the expected and/or required position in the transport direction T at the expected and/or required time. For example, a position error of the sheet  02  also exists in the case of a skewed position of the sheet  02 . In the case of a skewed position of the sheet  02 , for example, its leading edge  07  has an angle of greater than 0° (zero degrees) with respect to the transverse direction A and/or its side edges  09  have an angle of greater than 0° (zero degrees) with respect to the transport direction T. In the case of a skewed position of the sheet  02 , at least two printing marks  11  arranged parallel to and spaced apart from one another along the leading edge  07  of the sheet  02  have different coordinates along the transport direction T. In this way, at least one of the relevant printing marks  11  is arranged upstream from the respective, at least one further printing mark  11  in the transport direction T. An in particular lateral position error also exists when the sheet  02  is arranged displaced with respect to its expected and/or required position in the transverse direction A. 
     A respective sheet  02 , preferably the at least one sheet  02 , is preferably roughly aligned by the at least two front lay marks  203  arranged horizontally parallel to one another in the transport direction T of sheets  02 . The rough alignment describes a reduction of the position error relative to the expected and/or required positioning of the sheet  02 , due to the sheet  02  striking against the at least two front lay marks  203  in the alignment position PA. A sheet  02  is preferably fixed during the rough alignment, at least in the vertical direction V, in particular by the at least one transport means  204 .

In addition, or as an alternative, the respective, preferably the at least one, sheet  02  is more preferably finely aligned by adjusting, preferably pivoting, the mounting point S and the axis of rotation D relative to one another. As a result of the fine alignment of the sheet  02 , it is ensured that the sheet  02 , in the transfer position PU, is transferred, while maintaining register accuracy, to the at least one holding element  1202  of the transport system  1200 . The relative position of the at least one transport means  204  is preferably changed during the alignment of the sheet  02 . A finely aligned sheet  02  is preferably situated in its expected and/or required position at the expected and/or required time, preferably with only minimal deviation of the position from the expected and/or required position, more preferably without any deviation of the position. 
     A position displacement of the mounting point S relative to the axis of rotation D is configured to compensate for and/or compensates for at least one position error of the at least one sheet  02 .

Preferably, each of the at least two servo drives  218  generates an identical relative displacement of the mounting point S and the axis of rotation D with respect to one another. 
     The sheet  02  is preferably finely aligned laterally, preferably in the transverse direction A, to compensate for a lateral position error. In the case of a lateral fine alignment of the sheet  02  orthogonal to the transport direction T, in particular and/or in the transverse direction, at least the at least one transport means  204  of the infeed system  202  is preferably adjusted horizontally and orthogonally to the transport direction T, via at least one servo drive  237 , which is preferably independent of the at least one drive shaft  1002 , more preferably of the at least one drive  1001 , of the lateral alignment.
