How it Works
- Traffic Cop directs packages, either in slugs or one-at-a-time, from two different lanes into one lane by utilizing a cam that controls a paddle for each lane
- As packages on each of the two lanes meet the device, the unlocked paddle allows the first group of packages to travel freely, while the other group is held up with the locked paddle
- When the first group is released from the paddle, the cam releases the other paddle and that group of packages is free to move
- The Traffic Cop switches between slugs or individual packages when the gap is created.
