A sensing apparatus can be configured to detect an edge of a paper that is received by an automated transaction machine (ATM). The paper can move along a path located inside the ATM, the path having opposite first and second sides. The sensing apparatus can include a light emitter and a light detector on the first side of the path, with the light emitter positioned so that it can emit light across the path to the second side. The light detector can be configured to detect light from the light emitter and can emit a signal corresponding to an amount of detected light. The sensing apparatus can also include a control circuit that can control a flow of power to the light emitter, and the control circuit can also receive the signal emitted by the sensor.

A correction structure arranged in a feeding path of a document processing device, comprising: a transmitting means consisted of at least a pair of roller set which are arranged symmetrically on the two sides of the feeding path for transmitting the card evenly, a correcting means consisted of a platform movably arranged at the downstream to the roller set, a receptacle formed on the platform, a elastomer arranged in the receptacle for returning the platform to a predefined location, a back wall extended from the platform toward the feeding path, an opening formed on the back wall to let a card go through, and a friction pad arranged at the bottom of the opening to partly jam the opening, wherein the width of the friction pad is less than the width of the feeding path so the friction pad only contacts the center of the card while transmitting the card.

A printing device is provided comprising a camera to capture an image of at least a portion of a print substrate; a controller to determine a location of a portion of a side edge of the print substrate from the image to determine a distance of the print substrate from a predetermined location; and an adjustment apparatus to adjust the entire substrate laterally, relative to the direction of transport of the print substrate, based on the determined location.

A deviation correction apparatus includes a width detecting apparatus configured to detect a width of a coating layer of an electrode plate, a processor communicatively connected with the width detecting apparatus and configured to determine a centerline position of the electrode plate based on the width of the coating layer, and a deviation correction mechanism configured to perform deviation correction for the electrode plate based on the centerline position of the electrode plate and a preset standard centerline position.

Unwinder of a thin ply product wound on a roll, of the type with automatic switching of the unwinding roll with a spare roll, said unwinder comprising—a first roll-holder assembly equipped with a first unwinding rod for a respective roll, on which the roll is adapted to be supported, and which has an axis of rotation transversal to the direction of movement of the ply unwound from the roll, —a second roll-holder assembly equipped with a second unwinding rod for a respective roll, on which the roll is adapted to be supported, said second rod being parallel to said first unwinding rod of the first roll-holder assembly, said second roll-holder assembly facing said first roll-holder assembly in an unwinding zone, wherein of said two roll-holder assemblies, one assembly holds the unwinding roll and the other assembly holds the spare roll to be switched, —a ply splicing assembly placed above said first and second facing roll-holder assemblies, —a ply accumulation unit to allow automatic switching between a roll being unwound in one said roll-holder assembly and a spare roll provided in the other roll-holder assembly, —a transversal position correction system for the side edges of the plies on the rolls present in said roll-holder assemblies.

In some examples, a sheet processing machine includes at least one sensor device that includes at least two sensors configured as a camera. The sheet processing machine further includes at least one infeed system. The at least one sensor device is configured to control, by open-loop control and/or closed-loop control, at least one servo drive of the infeed system as a function of at least one sheet of sheets being detected by the at least two sensors. The at least two sensors are configured to selectively detect at least one edge and/or printing mark of the sheets. Some examples likewise relate to a method for controlling, by open-loop control and/or closed-loop control, at least one component of a sheet processing machine.

A sheet stacker includes a pair of sheet holders, a sheet leading-edge aligner, a sheet stacking member, and control circuitry. A downstream side of the pair of sheet holders in a conveyance direction of a conveyed sheet is lowered along the conveyance direction. Each one of the pair of sheet holders is movable in an orthogonal direction to the conveyance direction. The pair of sheet holders hold both side-end portions of the sheet in the orthogonal direction. The sheet stacking member is disposed below the pair of sheet holders. A downstream side of the sheet stacking member in the conveyance direction is lowered along the conveyance direction. The sheet stacking member stacks the sheet dropped from the pair of sheet holders after a leading edge of the sheet is aligned by the leading-edge aligner. The control circuitry controls operations of the leading-edge aligner and the pair of sheet holders.
