  • Non-contact sensing system
    Publication number: 20080036139
    Abstract: A non-contact sensing system for detecting a double feed condition of mail. The non-contact sensing system generally includes a mail sorting machine that routes and moves the mail, a non-contact sensor, and a controller. The non-contact sensor is positioned proximate to the conveyor and generates a signal that is indicative of the thickness of the mail. The controller receives the signal from the non-contact sensor and generates an output signal that indicates a double feed condition.
