Abstract

An arrangement, for the drive of a sheet conveyor connected to a sheet processing machine, facilitates the uniform movement of sheets to a pick-up station and the non-uniform movement of the sheets accumulated thereat to a discharge station. The arrangement includes a planetary gear train having first and second planetary gear drives which are interconnected and are counter-rotated, and a flywheel mass modulates the accelerated and decelerated drive which is provided for conveying the sheets from the pick-up to the discharge stations.
