We have developed Miss-Multiple
Technology for retrofit to the Heidelberg 1272P, 1299, and 630 series. We are presently
searching for National and International representation. Our technology is
unique but we need Reps who are familiar with mailroom insertion for
newspapers.
Specification of
Insertion Sensor
The
Insertion Sensor is a device which detects the number of inserts inserted
into each newspaper passing through the insertion machine. This detector
is able to handle inserts from 4 mills thickness upto ½ inches. It is able
to detect misses, singlets, doublets, triplets, quadriplets, and
quintipolets, maintaining the sum of insertions (the sum of singles plus
doubles plus triplets, etc. ) over a 40 hour period of insertions,
displaying a running number of insertions on a six character display. The
sensor is not affected by dust or dirt, and is adjusted for a given insert
thickness automatically via a learning procedure.
This
procedure requires first running the insertion machine without insertions
(for 32 miss insertion steps). Second the insertion machine begins
non-miss insertions, learning the thickness of the insertions
automatically. Correct detection occurs as soon as a single thickness
insertion occurs on each half of the insertion drum (amongst misses,
doubles, etc.)
After
32 non-miss insertions, the insertion sensor then looks for 4 doublet
insertions, then 4 triplet insertions, 4 quadriplet insertions, and lastly
4 quintiplet insertions during the following insertion steps (two per
revolution of the drum of the insertion machine). The thickness detector
is extremely temperature stable requiring no relearning over long periods
of use.
Two
sets of LED lights display the stage of learning of each half of the
insertion drum of the insertion machine, one light indicating misses are
being learned, a second light that singles are being learned, one light
that doubles are being learned, etc. Once singlets are learned, doublets
can be detected immediately, however, once doublets are experienced, a
more accurate thickness is determined. Once doublets are learned, triplets
can be detected immediately, and again sensing an actual triplet permits a
more accurate thickness to be determined.
The
Insertion Sensor is 4 by 3 by 2 inches. It has inputs from an insert
thickness detector, and two drum position sensors, and 110 volt AC source.
It has three output lines, one to drive the miss-light, one to drive the
doublet-light on top of the insertion machine and the third for a return
path from the lights.
Four
buttons are used. One locks the unit so that no more learning can take
place, a second initiates the miss learning, another initiates the
singlet, doublet, etc. learning, and a fourth is used for maintainence.
Pressing the four buttons in a particular order unlocks the unit so that
learning a new insert can take place.
Our new miss-multiple technology
quickly adapts to the Heidelberg and Muller Martini rotary drum
inserter. We, in seconds learn the mechanics
of
the rotating drum and once production begins we learn the insert
thickness, a minimum of 4 mil to a maximum thickness of .500 inch
thick insert.
Our technology ignores out of round drums and will
always-present accurate information to the host computer.
Our one piece design replaces the
photoelectric miss detector as well as the
Limit switch double.
WE ARE IMPERVIOUS TO ALL PAPER DUST !
No need to wipe off reflectors. Our
technology the latest state of art microelectronics, will provide years
of trouble free service.
