Abstract (en)

[origin: DE10361720B3] Process for identifying overlapped flat letters in a transport path for consecutively transported letters (5, 6) comprises arranging at least two transport stages (1, 2) behind each other in the transport path, and measuring the speed of the transported letters by scanning before the next transport stage up to a maximum distance less than the shortest combined letter length using two sensors (3, 4) arranged on both sides of the transport path. The measurement results are evaluated when one sensor measures a speed that deviates from the nominal speed of the next transport stage only by a fixed low value. Overlapping is detected when the simultaneously measured speeds of the two sensors are different and the smaller measured speed deviates by a fixed value from the greater speed. An independent claim is also included for an arrangement for overlapped flat letters in a transport path.
