Abstract

A cam drive is used to drive the auxiliary gripper on a sheet-fed printing machine having a control cam and an auxiliary cam and associated cam followers. In order to use a minimum amount of pages and eliminate any bending moments from the forces between the cams, the control cam and the auxiliary cam are disposed in a common plane on two parallel shafts and the control lever and associated followers are disposed in the same plane between the cams.
