ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for displacing and detecting cross-slotted objects includes a cradle mounted to a frame, the cradle being sized and shaped to hold a tray of objects in slots. As the cradle rotates on the frame, a displacing assembly is deployed at the rear of the tray with projections that contact cross-slotted objects and urge the cross-slotted objects to move at least partially out of the tray. Suitably positioned sensors detect the displaced cross-slotted objects for notification to a controller. A method for detecting cross-slotted objects includes first displacing the cross-slotted objects, and second, detecting the displaced cross-slotted objects.
