Cascade Error

Some tipping devices in the industry rely on interaction between the roller and a tail on the tipper arm to re-latch.  If the arm for some reason fails to re-latch, it will re-enter the path and tip the next un-tipped carrier.  When this carrier gets to its correct destination, the control system not knowing that it has been improperly tipped earlier, will send a fire signal causing the tipper to release, attempting to again tip this same carrier and module.  As this module is already tipped, there is nothing to reset the tipper and the tipper remains in the out position tipping the next un-tipped carriage.  This causes what is known as “cascade errors”.

Mantissa’s patented “cascade free” technology eliminates the possibility of  this cascading chain of mis-sorts, as resetting of the TipLoc II is independent of any external mechanical action.
