ABSTRACT:
A mail insertion machine (10) having an elongated insert track (12) with one or more insert dispensing devices (16) with rotary insert feeding mechanisms (22) for depositing inserts at longitudinally-space movable driving members (14) on the insert track includes a power train interconnected between the driving members and each insert dispensing device for driving them in a predetermined phase relationship with a phase-adjustment mechanism for adjusting the phase relationship. The phase-adjustment mechanism includes first and second power transmitting elements (28, 30) which can be selectively engaged with and disengaged from one another by an engaging mechanism (38), an electronic sensing and indicating mechanism mounted on the first and second power transmitting elements for sensing their positions relative to one another and providing an electronic phase-indication signal indicative thereof, and a phase-adjustment mechanism (54, 60, 64) coupled to the power train for acting on the power train when the first and second power transmitting elements are disengaged to achieve a desired phase-indication signal from the electronic sensing and indicating mechanism. In one embodiment, phase adjustment is accomplished by an electric motor which is automatically adjusted by a control system responding to the phase-indication signal and input instructions.
