Look up a Pitney Flowmaster if you’re curious for more.
Collates the inserts into stacks, aligns and opens the envelopes, pushes the insert stack into the envelope, folds and seals the flap, flips the envelope, applies a stamp, prints addresses or data, reads the barcode, ejects any flagged envelopes, and finally stacks them all in a neat row.
I figured it would be a tough one.
These are mail insertion machines I worked on for several months as a mechanic. It’s a little blurry since that were moving, but here it is in action:
Interesting guess, but no.
Related to envelopes, but not for folding.
Spot on.
It’s for pushing mail into an envelope. Three or four of them work in unison to push a stack of papers/inserts into an envelope.
Lol, that’s a no. It’s for an industrial machine.
More of a “put all of this stuff together in one package” sorta machine. The wear piece does push something while riding in the tracks. Technically the tracks do have various depths, but that’s not too important to the general function of the assembly.
There is no cam type function in the machine. The assembly is solidly attached to the bar that moves.
The bar is aluminum and the square ish piece on the left is low friction plastic.
Closest guess so far! The track is correct. Not for manufacturing per-say, but definitely a complex machine.
Lol. It’s not car related. This is for a larger stationary machine.
Not quite. The assembly moves around for other reasons.
Other comment guessed the same thing. The bar controls where the assembly goes instead.
Pushing is correct :)
That’s actually getting pretty close. The main difference is that the roles are reversed: The attachment point controls where the assembly goes.
I’m afraid not. The only attachment point is the round hole on the right.
Hammer is the correct term, but that’s not what they are. They come from a machine.
Not for a piano. It’s more industrial.
My guess has a few factors to it (in no particular order):
Cost soda syrup is likely a lot cheaper than the chemical concoction for energy drinks.
Safety Energy drinks pose a much greater health risk if the concentrations are off. Companies would have to prevent young children from accessing the machines (if they are used in restaurants). They would also have to prevent customers from drinking too much. I can also imagine chugging a bunch of the syrup would likely kill you (it’s bound to happen).
Flavor Control soda companies already accept and plan for the difference in fountain vs bottled sodas. I feel energy drink companies want as much control as possible to keep their brand image perfect.
Sadly they are not mine. All of the pics I find are from random places on the Internet. A person in my house has severe allergies, so having pets is out of the question. One day I hope to be able to get my own pets.
One of my favorite edits I’ve ever made:
