ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A programmable parts reorienter and feeder utilizes a fibre-optic array in a sensing head to determine an initial orientation of a part passing through a parts handling unit. The sensing head is coupled to a microprocessor that has been programmed to recognize properly oriented as well as misoriented parts. After determining the initial orientation of the part, the microprocessor will direct a reorienter device to either pass the part in the first orientation, orient the part to a preferred orientation or, in some cases, reject the part. The microprocessor has been programmed with the ability to "learn" to distinguish multiple orientations of parts and in a run mode can then make part orientation determinations based on its "learned" information.
