An object of the present invention is to enable left/right determination while an arm part is being suspended from a clamper in a previous step before a deboning process upon deboning an arm part of a pig carcass that is served as meat, and to improve efficiency of the deboning process. In a deboning apparatus 10, a plurality of clampers 16 move around on an endless track 14. At a suspension station ST2, a work W is suspended from each clamper 16. At a left/right determination station ST3, left/right determination is performed, and front/back determination is also performed in which it is determined whether a front-side portion F or a back-side portion B is facing a side irradiated by X-rays. Based on results of the above determinations, the posture of the work W is corrected by a clamper rotating device 26. That is, at an X-ray imaging station ST4, it is controlled so that the front-side portion F of the work W faces the side irradiated by the X-rays and a longer side faces a movement direction "a" of the endless track 14. At the X-ray imaging station ST4, an X-ray image of the work W is obtained to determine a target coordinate of a bone-part surface required for incision making and deboning process in the downstream process. |
