<p>The invention relates to a method for slicing food products having an irregular inner structure such as sausages or ham, wherein the products ( 11 ) are cut into slices (S) and especially offset portions or stacked portions are formed and transported away from the slicing area ( 31 ). During said slicing process, information on the contour and structure of the slices of products is obtained by means of an opto-electronic detector device in a series of successive detection steps (E) by illuminating the slicing area, whereupon the illuminated rays reflected from the cutting surfaces ( 13 ) of the slices of product which are to be respectively separated and from the edge area ( 15 ) of said slices are detected and evaluated Said illumination is carried out in at least one and preferably in all of the detection steps (E) in several directionally independent components (k) which are different from each other at least with respect to an illumination parameter. The invention also relates to a slicing device which is especially suitable for carrying out the inventive slicing method.</p> |
