    摘要: An insertion assembly for the continuous and automated feeding of laminar elements into a graphic printing station without the involvement of roller elements in the process, allowing the distance between the laminar elements in question to be adjusted such that adjacent laminar elements may be positioned very close to each other regardless of their length. Said assembly comprises an insertion device (1) that includes a rotating belt system on which the laminar elements (3) can be moved horizontally, and suction means, with the insertion device (1) connected to a stacking area (4) and; a pulling device (2) that includes a rotating belt system on which the laminar elements from the insertion device (1) can be moved, and suction means, with the pulling device (2) connected to a graphic printing station, said pulling device adjoining the insertion device (1) in a direction of forward motion.

    摘要: A method for feeding laminar elements into an introducer associated with a graphic printing station provided for printing at least one of the faces of the laminar element, wherein a plurality of laminar elements are grouped in an orderly manner in a stacked group of laminar elements that extends upwards, such that the longitudinal axis of each of the laminar elements is located perpendicular with respect to an advance direction of the group, the advance direction of the group being perpendicular to the advance direction of the introducer. This group of laminar elements is turned 180 degrees with respect to a rotation axis that is parallel to the advance direction of the introducer, such that the upper face of each one of the laminar elements is oriented downwards, the turned laminar element advancing in a direction perpendicular to the advance direction of the introducer.
