Die vorliegende Erfindung offenbart ein Verfahren, mit dem 1 eine Sendungssortiermaschine (2) für flache Sendungen (4) betrieben werden kann, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Weiche (6) zwei voneinander entkoppelt antreibbare Weichenflügel (14a, 14b) umfasst, die zu einer Ablenkung der Sendungen (4) verwendet werden.20
Abstract:
The invention relates to an interleaving device (100) and a method for overlapping portions (102) of a plastic web with leading ends overlapping trailing ends, for subsequent winding up said overlapped portions as a roll (5), the device comprising a feeding section (110) comprising a set of feed rolls (111a, 111b) for advancing a web at a first speed, the feeding section further comprising a set of nip rolls (112a, 112b) for separating the web into portions of web, a receiving section (130) for receiving a leading end (102a) of said portions at a second lower speed, and an advancing section (150) for advancing the leading end of the portions from the feeding section to the receiving section, the advancing section further comprising a deflection device (156) for deflecting the trailing end of said portions by providing a downwardly oriented force on the trailing end of said portions, wherein the advancing section comprises one or more vacuum belts (151) each having along the length thereof one vacuum section (157) or a plurality of spaced apart vacuum sections, said vacuum section(s) being arranged for holding the leading end of a respective portion.
Abstract:
An apparatus is described that is usable in an envelope stuffing machine (100) for changing an initial advancement direction (I) of piles (2) made up of inserts to be put in envelops, comprising: at least a thrust device (31, 32, 33, 34) for pushing a pile (2) in a thrust direction (S), arrangeable in such as way that the thrust direction (S) is perpendicular or oblique with respect to the initial advancement direction (I), and at least a connecting device (4) comprising drawing means (41, 42) for transporting piles (2) along a transport pathway (P1, P2, P3), at a terminal end of which transport pathway there is an outlet (U) of the connecting device (4), which drawing means (41, 42) are suitable for receiving piles which are supplied to the apparatus (1) having said initial advancement direction (I), the drawing means (41, 42) being curved in such a way that the transport pathway (P1, P2, P3) comprises at least an arced tract (P2) with a centre of curvature located on a main axis (O) perpendicular to the initial advancement direction (I), whereby, upon the crossing of the arced tract (P2), the piles (2) exhibit an intermediate advancement direction (M) which is oblique or transversal with respect to the initial advancement direction (I); the thrust device (31, 32, 33, 34) being located downstream of the connecting device (4) in a position in which it can receive the piles (2) which exit from the connecting device (4).
Abstract:
A system detects the sheet quantity of sheet material such as paper by use of a detection roller which deforms from concentric when sheet material passes between the detection roller and another roller, and using a detector to detect the degree of de-concentricity and provide an output indicating the number of sheets passing through. The system has particular application to insert machines for detecting the number of sheets of insert material being inserted into host material such as newspapers.
Abstract:
A device for diverting printed products is provided. The device (10) includes a first rotating support (32) having a first pad (52) mounted thereon, a second rotating support (22) having a second pad (50) mounted thereon, a third rotating support (34) having a third pad (40) mounted thereon and a fourth rotating support (24) having a fourth pad (42) mounted thereon. The first pad (52) has a different thickness than the second pad (50) and the first and second rotating supports (32, 22) rotate together. The third pad (40) has a different thickness than the fourth pad (42) and the third and fourth rotating supports (34, 24) rotate together. A method for diverting printed products is also provided.
