Abstract
The cup singulation device of the present disclosure is an automated device, thus eliminating problems associated with users not able to extract single cups at a time, or destroying product by using too much force when doing so. A controller controls a cup holding table to present stacks of cups to an gripping device that grips and removes a single cup. A latch mechanism on the cup holder can hold the remainder of the stack in place to make sure that only one cup is removed.
