Abstract
In an apparatus for checking sheet material a plurality of sensors are arranged along a sensor path along which the sheet material, such as e.g. bank notes, is transported. The sensors each have two components which are arranged at opposite sides of the bank note transport path. For the functioning of many sensors it is necessary that the opposing sensor components are exactly aligned to each other. So as to achieve that the alignment of the sensor components arranged opposite each other is set with high accuracy and reproducible, the relative position of the sensor components opposing each other is defined by means of docking elements.
