Abstract

The invention relates to a pneumatic feed and separation system (1) for flat substrates (3) such as papers and the like in a stack (5, 5', 5''), and to a corresponding method. The system has: a rear edge separating apparatus (10) for separation of a top substrate (3) from the stack (5, 5', 5'') in the area of the rear edge (9) of the stack (5, 5', 5'') in the transport direction (7), a transport apparatus (20) for the top substrate (3) in the area of the front edge (8) of the stack (5, 5', 5'') in the transport direction (7), and a control unit (30). In order to ensure automatic adjustment of the system, in particular automatically optimized operation of the system, the invention provides that the rear edge apparatus (10) and/or the transport apparatus (20) comprise/comprises an automatically controllable pneumatic system--in particular with a compressed-air-based separating unit and a suction-air-based separating unit, in particular an automatically controllable separating mechanism with a restraint function for substrates below the top substrate (3), in particular a suction-air-based transport unit--and an automatically controllable motor system. The control unit (30) is designed for automatic presetting of substrate-dependent parameter information--in particular at least for the compressed-air-based separating unit, for the suction-air-based separating unit, for the separating mechanism, for the separating motor system and for the transport unit--and the associated pneumatic system and/or motor system are/is designed for automatic adjustment thereof on the basis of the parameter information.
