Abstract
An adjustable peach aligner cup assembly is provided for use in an automatic peach aligning and pitting mechanism. An adjustable alignment ring has first and second movable segments . Segments are moved away from each other to align large peaches and are moved toward each other to align small peaches. An actuator causes the segments to move. An optional sensor is provided which allows the segments on a specific aligner cup assembly to be adjusted on a peach-to-peach basis to align a specific peach.
