METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING OF FUR

摘要

A method and an apparatus (1) is disclosed for processing the skin side of a tubular fur (2) arranged on a mandrel (4) so that the skin side of the fur (2) faces outwards, comprising the steps of processing the skin side of the tubular fur (2) by mutually displacing the mandrel (4) and a processing device (5, 5a, 5b, 6, 6a, 6b, 7, 8, 8a, 9, 9a) in a longitudinal direction of the mandrel (4) while said processing device engages the skin side of the tubular fur (2), determining a transition between a lower end part (2a) of the tubular fur (2) and a surface (4c) of the mandrel (4) by means of mutually displacing the mandrel (4) and a colour sensor (10) directed towards the mandrel (4) in a longitudinal direction of the mandrel (4), and terminating the processing step in dependence of said determined transition.

1. Method for processing the skin side of a tubular fur comprising the steps of
drawing the tubular fur on a mandrel from a free end of the mandrel so that the skin side of the fur faces outwards and the fur side of the fur faces inwards towards the mandrel, processing the skin side of the tubular fur by mutually displacing the mandrel and a processing device in a longitudinal direction of the mandrel while said processing device engages the skin side of the tubular fur, determining a transition between a lower end part of the tubular fur and a surface of the mandrel by means of mutually displacing the mandrel and a colour sensor directed towards the mandrel in a longitudinal direction of the mandrel, and terminating the processing step in dependence of said determined transition.
