Through the user interface, operators can activate the 'teach' command instructing the gripper arm to read, remember and report the thickness of an insert to the operating system.
As the job proceeds, all following inserts are compared, immediately identifying all double pulls and misses.
Operators can choose to divert the mail piece, use insert station back-up, or pause the system for a physical quality inspection, said the company.
Smart Grip is available with either pneumatic or standard gripper arms.
Patrick J.
Donahue, vice president of marketing for Bowe Bell and Howell, said: "We continue to enrich the world's most trusted inserting technology.
Taking Enduro to the next level is just one of the many innovations we will deliver in 2006." He added that Enduro continues to employ the latest in mail piece quality and integrity features with in-track sensors to monitor the inserting process.
Constant communication between the input modules and base system ensures the operator has constant knowledge of the location of each document set.
The Jetvision reading system can be added to further increase monitoring capabilities.
Steve Foy, vice president of operations and technology at Bowe Bell and Howell, commented: "The addition of pneumatics further enhances the flexibility of Enduro.
Not only can our customers continue to run multiple applications, but this technology greatly increases performance when processing difficult materials." Initially available as a special order, pneumatic gripper arms will be rolled in to Enduro as a standard option in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Smart Grip is available immediately.
Bowe Bell and Howell will be showing the pneumatic Enduro at GRraph Expo in Chicago (USA) from October 15-18.
