ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for aligning sheets of material moving along a path of travel with respect to a reference line or center line or reference point is shown. A lifter and conveyor will lift a sheet of material traveling in a plane of movement along a path of travel above said plane of movement and move it laterally of said path of travel into contact with an alignment plate, the alignment plate places the sheet of material in a pre-alignment position, the lifter and conveyor lowers, redepositing the sheet of material in the plane of travel, and the alignment plate moves the sheet of material into a final alignment position.
