Mail piece detection sensor
To prepare a mail piece for labeling, the iBOT briefly pauses next to a sensor
panel in the loading column. The iBOT conveyor moves the piece against the
panel, where it is detected by an infra-red sensor. The sensor ensures that the
piece is properly positioned on the iBOT to receive a label.
If the mail piece is missing or too skewed to be detected by the sensor, no label
will be printed. A piece that is too skewed will be delivered to the reject bin.
Once the mail piece is detected, the iBOT conveyor withdraws it from the panel
and the iBOT transports it upward to receive a label.
Each mail piece is briefly moved against
panel so that it blocks sensor beam
