Abstract

The invention relates to a process for alignment of sheet material (1) which is processed in a machine which processes sheet material (1). To do this the sheet material (1) is aligned into one conveyor plane (9) laterally and with respect to its twisting (6) with reference to its conveyor direction (22). The position of the sheet material (1) in the conveyor plane (9) is always acquired at a point (35) on one side edge (24) of the sheet material with a position which is defined to the reference edge (23) of the sheet material (1).
