Abstract

An apparatus for transporting a sheet material through a sheet-processing machine is described. The transport system for the sheet material has a drive that is driven independently of the cylinders on the stations processing the sheet material in the sheet-processing machine. The transport system provides at least synchronization of a transport device conveying the sheet material and of the cylinders.
