Patent ID: 6860804

Claim:
A system for primal cutting-up of meat items, comprising a laying-down module, a vision detection system for the relevant fix points on meat items, a calculation unit with an interface for the controlling of a positioning module controlling a saw module, wherein: a) the laying down-module comprises two overlapping conveyors having substantially the same transport direction and transport plane: I) a first conveyor comprising spaced tracks which are synchronously driven, and on which conveyor substantially U-shaped laying-down fixtures are arranged, and that the lowest points on at least two outermost of said fixtures are lying on a line oriented substantially at right-angles to the transport direction, and that at least a section of said first conveyor overlapping a second conveyor has a downward sloping section in the transport direction; II) and a second conveyor comprising spaced tracks arranged in the spaces between the tracks of said first conveyor, such that meat items placed in the U-shaped laying down fixtures on the sloping portion of said first conveyor will engage the tracks of said second conveyor and thereby be transported in the transport direction by said second conveyor; b) the vision detection system comprising a camera which camera is connected with a computer with vision detection software, for determining fix points on the meat items passing the camera, which fix points are related to a zero line in relation to which the positioning module controls the saw module; c) the fix points relation to the zero line is fed to a calculating unit, which calculating unit feeds input to a control unit controlling actuators, which actuators adjusts the saw modules vertical and horizontal position in relation to the input of the fix points of the meat items.
