Abstract
A workpiece detection circuit in an article handling apparatus aborts workpieces from the apparatus whenever an unanticipated workpiece presence or absence is sensed. An error signal from either of a pair of parallel gating circuits removes a primary chute from the workpiece flow path and directs workpieces down a secondary or abort chute.
