<p>A slice control circuit senses the angular position of a blade employed to slice products, such as bacon or cheese. The position information is utilized to correctly position the product relative to the blade to obtain uniform slices. When slicing is interrupted the product is withdrawn from the blade to prevent nonuniform slices. When slicing is resumed the circuit inserts the product into the blade path at the correct point of blade rotation to resume production of uniform slices. A voltage controlled oscillator maintains the product movement in synchronism with blade velocity.</p> |
