A substrate handling system including an infeed system for feeding stacked substrates and including a processing machine for processing stacked substrates, and in particular a printing press for printing stacked substrates. A robot cell is provided between the infeed system and the processing machine. The robot cell comprises one or two gripper systems, each for handling a plurality of substrates. The robot cell is configured in such a way, that selectively differently stacked substrates, which are feedable by the infeed system, can be handled.

A lateral positioning device (100) for a sheet element (20, 20′) in a sheet element processing machine; a detector lever (130) articulated relative to a horizontal axis, which performs a descending movement from a high position to a low position; a first end (132) of the detector lever (130) contacts, in a low position of the lever, with an upper face of the sheet element. A second end (133) of the detector lever (130) is fitted with a target (135) that cooperates with a position detector (140) to generate a signal dependent on the thickness of the sheet element (20, 20′) and the number of sheet elements (20, 20′) present at the level of the first end (132) of the detector lever (130).

A winding device for a substantially electrically insulating web material having a winding roller on which the web material can be wound, characterized in that an apparatus exists for transferring an electric charge to the web material on the winding roller, and/or when deflecting to the winding roller, and the apparatus for transferring an electric charge is connected to at least one electrical high-voltage source with a positive or negative polarity.

Apparatus to apply a fluid to a substrate, the apparatus includes a first roller to rotate about an axis and apply a fluid to a first side of the substrate. The first roller includes an outlet to provide gas to the substrate to guide the movement of the substrate subsequent to the application of fluid to the substrate.
