Optical code reader sorting apparatus conditioned by trigger indicia

摘要: A sorting apparatus for differentiating between generally identically shaped objects based upon code indicia provided on a predetermined, relatively small surface area portion the sidewall of each object, including: transfer assembly moving in single file relationship along path; spinning engaging an object path and engaged about its longitudinal axis during short duration period without removing from trigger sensing passage indicia, located at predetermined circumferential position relative to indicia; reading printed object; actuation responsive signal actuating time when is positioned indexed, readable with assembly; comparator comparing comparison criteria generating match indicative criteria.
