A velocity measuring system useful for monitoring repetitive bidirectional movements of a carrier, which supports workpieces in production, initially stores the values of a number of velocities representative of normal operation to establish a normal velocity range, and then compares the values of subsequent carrier velocities to the normal range. A continuing deviation from the normal range is indicative of defective actuator operation, allowing repair or replacement prior to hard failure and serious disruption of the production line.
