Abstract

See full text

In a sheet processing apparatus including a guide member that rotates by contact with a sheet processing unit, collision of the sheet processing unit with the guide member in a rotating state is avoided. A sheet conveyance apparatus includes: sheet processing units that move along one movement path intersecting a conveyance direction of a sheet; guide members that each include a fixed end rotatable about a rotation center line and support the sheet from below; a biasing member that biases the guide member so as to return to an original orientation in which a part of the guide member is located on the movement path; and a collision determination unit that determines, before at least one of the sheet processing units is moved and based on a movement start position and a target position of a movement target sheet processing unit and a size and an orientation before start of movement of the guide member, whether or not there is a possibility of occurrence of collision of the movement target sheet processing unit with the guide member in a rotating state.
