FIELD: mechanical engineering; taking down stacks of sheets. SUBSTANCE: two sheets are separated from stack at a time. When one sheet is on take-in position from which two lead-out rollers convey it to transportation line, first sucker grips following sheet. this sheet is conveyed along curve a to free take-in position. Sucker which is not required for holding the sheet moves to stack for gripping next sheet and conveying it to take-in position, and the first sucker at this time moves back to stack. Thanks to it sheets are separated from stack at higher rate. Grips for sheets can be made either vacuum, or electromagnetic or mechanical. EFFECT: facilitated implementation of proposed method, increased capacity. 4 dwg
