Abstract
A device for measuring the thickness of objects to be handled in mail processing machines, particularly collating machines, inserters and the like, has a relatively-stationary back-up part; a gripper jaw; a rotating axis for mounting the gripper jaw pivotably in relation to the back-up part, whereby an object to be handled is engagable between the gripper jaw and the back-up part; an actuator system operatively connected between the back-up part and the gripper jaw for generating pivotal movement of the gripper jaw between an engagement position and an open position in relation to the back-up part; a movement-transmission part fastened to the rotating axis; and, a measuring device provided operatively between the movement-transmission part and the back-up part, the measuring device providing position-detector signals corresponding to predetermined pivotal positions of the gripper jaw in relation to the back-up part. The measuring device includes a detector which is connected to an UP/DOWN-counter operated by the output signals of the detector.
