Abstract
A doughball processing apparatus having cooperating press plates includes workpiece sensing means for determining the presence or absence of a workpiece on a conveyor belt for delivery to the processing position between the press plates. A control system is provided to manipulate the various components of the apparatus to insure the movable press plate does not contact the conveyor belt in the absence of a workpiece, while at the same time, insuring that belt indexing during the operation cycle is unaltered.
