Abstract
A machine for cutting stacked sheets of stock. The machine has a counter for accommodating the stock. The rear of the counter accommodates the stock to be cut and the front of the counter the cut stock. The rear of the counter also accommodates a mechanism for advancing the stack and a baffle for one side of the stack to rest against. A bent is positioned above the counter and accommodates a blade for cutting the stock and a holdfast that can be lowered onto the top of the stack. A control panel and a display panel are positioned on the front side. The machine in accordance with the present invention is characterized by at least one camera (22) at the rear (9) of the counter. The camera monitors the position of the stock in relation to the stack-advancing mechanism (10) or the lateral baffle (12) and displays on the display panel (17) a real-time image (26) of what it can discern. The operator can accordingly indirectly but precisely monitor the position of the stock in relation to the stack-advancing device or to the lateral baffle or both but only when that position needs correcting.
