Abstract:
A pallet feeder assembly for use with a concrete products machine of a type supporting a mold box within a production zone comprises a conveyor having a load/unload expanse configured to be disposed below the production zone, an upstream staging expanse upstream, and upstream and downstream ends. A plurality of sensors operative to detect a presence of a pallet on the conveyor are disposed along a length of the conveyor and include sensors disposed upstream and downstream of the load/unload expanse. Transport means on the conveyor move a pallet loaded on the transport means between the upstream and downstream ends of the conveyor. An open portion within the load/unload expanse is configured to admit a lifting means for raising the pallet from the transport means up into the production zone against an underside of a mold box during a production cycle of a concrete products machine.

Claim (Index 18):
The method for correcting pallet position on a conveyor of  claim 17 , wherein the position correction operation includes:\n calculating a difference between a length of the pallet and a distance between the upstream and downstream sensors; and sending instructions to the conveyor to move the pallet half the calculated difference downstream if the sensor detected to be immediately adjacent the pallet is an upstream sensor, otherwise sending instructions to the conveyor to move the pallet half the calculated difference upstream if the covered sensor is a downstream sensor.
