ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an apparatus for and method of determining the three-axis center of gravity of objects. The apparatus of the present invention has a conveyor assembly that receives a package from an upstream conveyor path. After being received, the package is decelerated in a controlled manner to a complete stop. Package motion is then resumed to propel the package off the apparatus onto the downstream conveyor path. During both the deceleration and stop periods, signals are generated by load cells supporting the conveyor assembly. These generated signals are representative of the load applied by the package at the load cells. The three components of the center of gravity of the package are calculated from these generated signals.
