Abstract: A collating apparatus for assembling a magazine from a plurality of signatures has a conveyor movable successively through a plurality of signature feeding stations and includes equipment for sensing and counting malfunctions of each feeding station. The counter is periodically reset after a predetermined number of machine cycles; if the number of malfunctions exceeds a preset stored limit before the counter is reset, the machine is stopped automatically. A rejection station following the last signature feeding station rejects magazines for which any of the feeders sensed a malfunction. An inspection station following the rejection station senses the presence or absence of a magazine and compares the results with a malfunction-data record to monitor the performance of the rejection station. One or more feeding stations may be switched to a mode of operation in which a single malfunction instead of an unacceptable fault rate stops the machine.

Abstract: In a collating method and apparatus for assembling a book, magazine, or the like from a plurality of signatures, a conveyor moves successively through a plurality of signature feeding stations. Raceway jams along the path of the conveyor are sensed. Upon a raceway jam, the collating apparatus is stopped automatically and a fault status signal is stored. After an operator has manually cleared the jam and restarted the machine, the magazine which was nearest the jam detector when the jam occurred, is tracked through the collating apparatus to a reject station where it is rejected. A predetermined number of magazines upstream from the one that was nearest and a predetermined number of magazines downstream from the one that was nearest are also automatically rejected when they arrive at the reject station. Following the sensing of a jam condition, downstream signature feeding stations are inhibited from feeding signatures to any of the magazines which are later to be rejected.
