The conveyor system for planar products (60), particularly print-shop products, comprises a feeder device (50) and a gripper conveyor (10) having a plurality of grippers (12) moved along an orbit (U), wherein the grippers (12) each have two gripper parts (14, 16), which can be pivoted between an open position and a closed position relative to one another. The position of the gripper parts (14, 16) relative to one another and/or the orientation of the entire gripper (12) in space is set, as a function of the position along the orbit by means of at least one control device, which comprises at least one control gate (28, 30, 40, 80, 80') interacting with the grippers, such that the gripper parts (14, 16) can be transferred from the open position to the closed position in a transfer region (A) of the orbit (U) for transferring the products (60) from the feeder device (50). For the targeted rejection of individual products (60), particularly defective products, the grippers can be controlled such that selectively individual grippers (12) can be moved through the transfer region (A) without receiving a product (60) from the feeder device (50). To this end, preferably controllable opening and/or closing gates (30, 80, 80') and/or controllable positioning gates (40) are used. Image

Ce système de transport pour produits plans (60), en particulier pour produits d'imprimerie, comprend un convoyeur d'alimentation (50) et un transporteur à pinces (10) doté d'une multiplicité de pinces (12) déplacées le long d'une voie de circulation (U), les pinces (12) présentant chacune deux parties de pince (14, 16) pouvant pivoter l'une par rapport à l'autre entre une position ouverte et une position fermée. La position des parties de pince (14, 16) l'une par rapport à l'autre et/ou l'orientation de l'ensemble de la pince (12) dans l'espace est réglée, en fonction de la position le long de la voie de circulation, au moyen d'au moins un dispositif de commande qui comprend au moins une coulisse de commande (28, 30, 40, 80, 80') coopérant avec les pinces, de telle sorte que les parties de pince (14, 16) peuvent passer, dans une zone de transfert (A) de la voie de circulation (U), de la position ouverte à la position fermée afin de transférer les produits (60) sur le convoyeur d'alimentation (50). Afin de rejeter spécifiquement certains produits (60), en particulier des produits défectueux, les pinces peuvent être commandées de sorte que, sélectivement, certaines pinces (12) peuvent être déplacées à travers la zone de transfert (A) sans transférer de produit (60) sur le convoyeur d'alimentation (50). À cet effet, on utilise de préférence des coulisses d'ouverture et/ou de fermeture régulables (30, 80, 80'), et/ou des coulisses de positionnement régulables (40).
