a vacuum aperture in a rotatable cam bears on an insert in an insert magazine when the cam is at rest . the vacuum port sucks the insert up against the face of the cam and away from the inserts in the magazine . when the cam is rotated and accelerated to belt speed the insert is stripped out of the magazine and follows the cam as a cam follower into the nip of the transport belts where the insert is transported to a package . stripping the insert as a cam follower allows very high feed speeds to be attained . a single electric motor drives the transport belts and through a single cycle electric clutch the same motor accelerates and rotates the cam . a controller connected to a pulse generator , an electric clutch , a package detector and an insert detector control the device . when a package is detected , the cam is rotated and the insert is stripped from the magazine into the transport belts ; a detector located between the transport belts determines if an insert has been stripped from the magazine into the belts . if an insert has not been stripped , a repeated stripping attempt is made . if unsuccessful , a reject gate and an alarm are operated which rejects the package not receiving an insert and sounds an alarm .
