Abstract
An apparatus and method for correcting for wear of links of a conveyor belt, resulting in inaccurate triggering based, on encoder pulses, of events downstream from a part registration sensor. The wear causes lengthening of the links, which the invention measures in an average sense and to within an accuracy limited by the rate of encoder pulses. An adaptive trigger then uses an inferred, approximate length for each link to refigure when to trigger downstream events.
