Abstract
A method and apparatus for conveying parts from a production machinery includes a first normally energized conveyor which conveys the parts from the production machinery to a first location, and discharges the parts into a parts stacking hopper at the first location, which stacks the parts on a second normally deenergized conveyor, and a photooptic control system which deenergizes the first conveyor and energizes the second conveyor when a predetermined number of parts have been stacked on the second conveyor to permit the stack of parts to be conveyed to a second location.
