摘要： The novel solution provides a method for feeding of individual envelopes (20) from a stack of envelopes (19) in a hopper (10) for an inserter machine. At the downstream end of the hopper, a friction feeder (26) serially feeds individual envelopes from the stack. A suction cup (30) is selectively actuated to engage with the envelope to pull a leading portion of the envelope away from the stack to assist the friction feeder in feeding envelopes. Selective actuation is based on monitoring downstream movement of fed envelopes. The suction cup is engaged when the envelopes travel a shorter distance than would be expected based on the movement of the feeder.

摘要： An apparatus and method for opening an envelope for insertion of a collation. The apparatus includes a plurality of actuated suction cups that are positioned above an envelope in an insertion station. The actuated suction cups move downward to engage a top surface of the envelope and to lift the top surface away from the bottom surface in order to facilitate insertion of the collation. The suction cups include a first group that is actuated for opening all envelopes, and a second group, independently actuatable from the first group, and that is actuated only for opening envelopes having characteristics that require the additional suction cups.

摘要： A method and system for identifying and detecting improperly wrapped envelopes (14) for use in a mailpiece fabrication system. The method/system visually images each envelope (14) in predetermined regions of interest (ROIs) to determine the spatial relationship between the internal content material (212) and one or more points of reference indicative of the internal bounds of a sealing adhesive (612). By examining the spatial relationship, a determination is made regarding the proximity of the internal content material (212) and the sealing adhesive (612). If the distance, or spatial separation, therebetween is below a threshold value, then an assumption is made that the content material (212) and sealing adhesive (612) are contiguous and that the envelope (14) has been improperly sealed, i.e., with the content material (212) interposing or otherwise inhibiting the proper closure of the wrapped envelope (14).
