New Inserter “Can Fill Up to 30,000 Envelopes per Hour”

Böwe Systec has now announced the Fusion Speed inserter. The company says it is capable of higher speeds of up to 30,000 envelopes per hour and can handle a range of formats from B6+ and #7 ¾ to B5 and 6 x 9. It will be shown to the public for the first time at the inserting specialist’s open day in Augsburg on May 14 this year and it should be ready for a commercial launch in 2020.

“Market feedback gave us the idea for the Fusion Speed. This new high-performance inserting machine and its exceptional speed mean that we can generate even more output for our customers and they can achieve a return on investment from the machine within a short period of time”, reports Wulf Böttcher, Product Manager Inserting at Böwe Systec.

What sets both the (earlier) Fusion Cross and the Fusion Speed apart from other inserting systems is their unique inserting technique, the so-called Flow-Principle, says the company. This slows the filling speed down 4.5-fold to allow more time for the actual filling process, enabling different envelope formats and difficult enclosures up to 15 mm thick and weighing up to 1 kg to be handled – and all without stopping. This special inserting process ensures a stable production flow and results in the industry’s highest net output.

Advanced Driver Assistance System on View at CV Show

VisionTrack, a UK provider of connected vehicle cameras and video telematics, will be showcasing its latest product innovations at the Commercial Vehicle Show 2019 ( Birmingham NEC, Apr 30-May 2, Stand 4E30). This will include an enhanced advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) solution and an extended range of forward-and rear-facing cameras for light commercial vehicles (LCVs).

The connected ADAS solution will now combine a forward-facing camera along with an in-vehicle fatigue and distraction monitor, driver feedback device and HD mobile digital video recorder (DVR). The industry-leading technology is designed to enable road transport operators to tackle traffic incidents before they arise by detecting and warning of driver risk.

The ADAS forward-facing camera identifies lane departure, forward collisions, tailgating and vulnerable pedestrians or cyclists, while the in-vehicle monitor can recognise if a driver is tired or distracted by actions such as mobile phone use, smoking and eating. As a result, a driver can immediately be alerted to any potential dangers via visual and/or audible warnings. At the same time, an office-based fleet manager can monitor areas of concern both in real-time and historically, so they can take appropriate actions to improve road safety and driver welfare.

VisionTrack will also be introducing the latest additions to its LCV product range with four new camera options. The company has developed a mini version of its C20 forward-facing vehicle camera, which can be mounted directly on the windscreen to avoid any reflections or light interference. This lightweight and compact device provides full HD 1080p image quality and can be used with VisionTrack’s range of mobile DVRs. In addition, three rear-facing cameras support effective roof or number plate installation, giving road transport operators added flexibility and choice.
