System and method for processing multi-page mail pieces

摘要

Systems and methods for processing multi-page mail pieces include a first unwinder that produces single width web and a second unwinder that produces a double width web. A merger/aligner having a slitter is located downstream from the second unwinder, and a cutter is located downstream from the merger/aligner. The slitter slits the double width web into two single width webs, and all of the single width webs are fed into the cutter. The cutter cuts the webs cross-wise at appropriate locations to separate the webs into individual sheets of a desired length.

主权项

1. A system for processing multi-page mail pieces, said system comprising:
a first unwinder; a first roll of material supported by said first unwinder, said first roll of material providing a first single width web; a second unwinder located downstream from said first unwinder; a second roll of material supported by said second unwinder, said second roll of material providing a first double width web; a merger/aligner located downstream from said second unwinder, said merger/aligner including a slitter; a cutter located downstream from said merger/aligner; wherein said first single width web travels over said second unwinder and said merger/aligner to said cutter; and wherein said first double width web travels to said merger/aligner where said slitter slits said double width web into second and third single width webs, said second and third single width webs being fed into said cutter with said first single width web.
