Carrier Motion
Vertical motion of the carrier is detected by a single
photo sensor, activated by two tabs at the back of the
carrier molding. The carrier is positioned by counting
a specific number of motor steps from the instant
the sensor’s optical path is opened or closed by
edges A, B and C.

Flip station components
The two halves of the sensor (arrow) are
contained in cavities in the molded back wall of the
flip station. The sensor tabs are integral with the

that the card is centered in the flip arms (if it isn’t
centered, the truck may have difficulty removing the
card after the flipping action). If the card position is
incorrect, the truck can depart, leaving the card in the
