Carcass processing device for cutting carcass, includes processing equipment control device linked to camera for detecting bright to dark regions generated by shining light onto carcass sides

摘要

A transmitter device (10) directs radiation onto two sides of the carcass, a sensor device is used to record a first bright region-to-dark region transition (12) on the first side (31) and a second bright region-to-dark region transition (13) on the second side (32) and a control device determines a processing position based on these two transitions and controls the processing equipment accordingly. The transmitter device comprises at least one elongated light source extending in the carcass transport direction (3) beyond at least one of the first and second sides, and the sensor device comprises a camera connected to the control device. The device includes a transport device with fasteners (5) for securing the carcass and is designed to carry out a processing action between the first and second sides of this carcass. The processing equipment comprises a saw (6) and the transport device is a chain conveyor (2) with hooks (5) for hanging the carcass from.
