<p>A system for processing workpieces prearranged within pallets (22) that are to be sewn by a sewing machine. The system includes apparatus for automatically processing a pallet from an input location to a location wherein the pallet can be automatically attached to a positioning system (24, etc.). The positioning system moves the attached pallet into position underneath the sewing machine head for subsequent sewing of a stitch pattern. The sewn workpiece is returned to a location where the pallet can be detached from the positioning system. An ejector mechanism (134) automatically moves the detached pallet to a location which does not interfere with the automatic processing of another pallet loaded at the input location.</p> |
