ABSTRACT:
A device for sensing the removal of workpieces from a stack by a pickup head which, during its intended function, is lowered to engage the upper workpiece in a stack, then elevated to remove the workpiece and then rotated so the workpiece can be deposited in a preselected location. The sensing device is pivotably mounted on the pickup head and movable between positions below the underside of the pickup head when the latter fails to engage a workpiece and at a level even with the underside of the pickup head which is accomplished through its engagement with a workpiece held by the pickup head. Upon engagement and pick up of a workpiece, a signal is given to raise the pickup head and then rotate it so the workpiece can be deposited in a predetermined location. Upon failure to engage and remove a workpiece from a stack, a signal is given for the pickup head to make a plurality of repeated attempts to engage and remove a workpiece from the stack. After a predetermined number of failures of the pickup head to perform its intended function, a warning signal is activated for the purpose of drawing attention thereto.
