ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for controlling a collator. A microcomputer learns hopper insertion points, jam switch insertion points, and hopper miss and double feed service angles relative to a reject gate. Based on the learn collator configuration, the controller controls collator operation. When a hopper phase adjustment is made by an operator, the controller automatically re-learns the hopper service angles during a ripple start of the collator and adjusts its reject data in response thereto. A miss verify sensor arrangement permits the controller to monitor for phase adjustments after a ripple start and to warn the operator upon such occurence.
