The Opex Omation 206 Letter Opener is a robust and efficient machine designed for high-volume mail processing, specifically for opening envelopes. It automates the process of opening mail, significantly increasing productivity in office environments.

Function Description:

The Omation 206 is a letter opener that automatically feeds, opens, and processes various sizes and thicknesses of envelopes. It features a feed hopper where batches of mail are loaded, and a conveyor system that guides the mail through the opening mechanism. The machine can be configured for different depths of cut, ranging from no cut (for counting only) to a deep 3mm cut, accommodating various mail types including standard, slightly thicker, and overnight flats. It also includes a chip bin for collecting the cut-off envelope edges. The machine's operation is controlled via a keypad with arrow keys, an Enter button, and a Cancel button, allowing users to navigate menus, adjust settings, and manage the mail opening process. It can operate in both manual and auto-resume modes for batch processing.

Usage Features:

The Omation 206 offers several user-friendly features to optimize mail processing:

• Automatic Batch Count: For machines with this optional capability, users can set the desired number of pieces per batch. The machine will pause after each batch, allowing for easy handling of sorted mail.
• Batcher Delay: Users can set a time delay between batches, ranging from 1 to 10 seconds, to provide ample time for mail removal or other tasks.
• Batch Re-Start: The machine supports both manual and auto-resume options for restarting batches, offering flexibility in workflow.
• Conveyor On Time: This setting allows adjustment of how long the lower conveyor belt runs after the last piece of mail has been opened, which is particularly useful for large batches or continuous mail runs.
• Feed Mode (Feed Re-Start): Users can enable or disable the automatic start and stop of the machine, providing control over when the machine begins processing mail.
• Depth of Cut Adjustment: Four pre-set positions are available:
  • 0 (No Cut): For counting envelopes without opening them.
  • 1 (Minimum Cut): Standard setting for normal thickness envelopes.
  • 2 (1.6mm / 1/16"): For slightly thicker mail and overnight-type flats.
  • 3 (3mm / 1/8"): Recommended for very deep cuts.
• Easy Mail Staging: The integrated mail tray supports facilitate holding mail trays, and the doors to the stand can be opened or closed as needed.
• Minimal Mail Preparation: The machine can handle handfuls of mail quickly, and envelopes of different sizes and thicknesses can be run at the same time, often requiring only a simple tap to align the top or leading edge.
• Error Handling: In case of a stoppage, an error message will appear, and the user can clear the visible stoppage and press Enter to restart.
• Safety Features: The machine is designed with safety in mind, including interlock switches on covers to prevent access to hazardous parts during operation. It requires proper grounding and advises against touching moving parts while in use.

Maintenance Features:

The manual emphasizes the importance of regular maintenance for optimal operating performance and to prevent malfunctions. Users are advised to contact their machine supplier for required service schedules. Key maintenance-related points include:

• Cleaning: Before clearing any stoppage, ensure machine mechanisms have come to a complete stop.
• Power Cord Management: Ensure the power cord is not routed over sharp edges, trapped, or strained, and that the wall receptacle is free from obstruction.
• Ventilation: Do not cover any vent openings to prevent overheating.
• Professional Servicing: Covers enclose hazardous parts that should only be accessed by properly trained service personnel. Any damaged or non-functioning components should be reported to service immediately.
• Supplies: Use only Pitney Bowes approved supplies, particularly aerosol dusters, and follow safety precautions on duster labels.
• Earthing: The machine must be earthed, and the socket outlet should be near and easily accessible.
• Noise Level Warning: When running at sound levels over 80dBA (First Action Level), operator hearing protection must be provided.
