2105083 9215509 PCTABS00016 A high speed, high capacity automated workload regulator (10) is provided including a transfer station (12) having a transfer axis (a) and a transfer mechanism (14) capable of picking up, moving and depositing preformed groups (58) of articles (56), such as can ends, at various locations defined in the transfer station (12) along the transfer axis (a). In accordance with the preferred embodiment, a string of articles (54) is first subdivided to form successive groups of articles (58) preparatory to transfer. Each group (58) is advanced uphill against the force of gravity into an inbound staging area (34) at the transfer station (12) awaiting pick up by the transfer mechanism (14). Each group (58) is also advanced downhill with the force of gravity from an outbound staging area (36) defined in the tranfer station (12) along outfeeder tracks (64) to outfeed consolidator mechanisms (32) which take successive groups of articles and re-form them into long strings (54) or continuous linear arrays for feeding to a downstream workstation.
