Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2292540A1] The device has a clutch unit for actuating drive rollers that support a stack of mailpieces of various formats. An optical sensor detects passage of the mailpieces entering into a separation zone that individually selects the mailpieces. A control unit controls forced deactivation followed by an activation/deactivation series of the clutch unit as long as the sensor is not activated, to cause a rapid succession of horizontal movements generating jerky motion on the stack of mailpieces for facilitating mutual separation of the mailpieces. An independent claim is also included for a method for controlling a clutch unit for actuating drive rollers supporting a stack of mailpieces.
