ABSTRACT:
A vacuum aperture in a rotatable cam bears on an insert in an insert magazine when the cam is at rest. The vacuum port sucks the insert up against the face of the cam and away from the inserts in the magazine. When the cam is rotated and accelerated to belt speed the insert is stripped out of the magazine and follows the cam as a cam follower into the nip of the transport belts where the insert is transported to a package. Stripping the insert as a cam follower allows very high feed speeds to be attained. A single electric motor drives the transport belts and through a single cycle electric clutch the same motor accelerates and rotates the cam. A controller connected to a pulse generator, an electric clutch, a package detector and an insert detector control the device. When a package is detected, the cam is rotated and the insert is stripped from the magazine into the transport belts; a detector located between the transport belts determines if an insert has been stripped from the magazine into the belts. If an insert has not been stripped, a repeated stripping attempt is made. If unsuccessful, a reject gate and an alarm are operated which rejects the package not receiving an insert and sounds an alarm.
