Abstract: An improved positioning apparatus for conveyor systems uses a pair of retractable stops mounted laterally of the conveyor belt to extend diagonally over the belt and engage an article thereon at a precisely repeatable point. The conveyor drive is augmented by auxiliary drive means which are engaged to urge the article against the stops and to prevent excessive shock in the system.
