Abstract
A plate alignment station (24) for advancing a series of plates and for adjusting the orientation or alignment of the plates as they are advanced. The alignment station includes a conveyor (140) having a pair of side-by-side conveyor chains or belts (142, 144) and a pair of servo assemblies (146, 148) each coupled with one of the chains or belts. The servo assemblies can be operated to advance or retard one of the conveyor chains or belts relative to the other to adjust the orientation of plates supported on the conveyors.
