Abstract:
A system for processing a suspended beef carcass as the carcass is moved along a defined path. A robotic arm is carried on a moveable table and has mounted thereon a servo motor-driven band saw capable of effecting a splitting operation on the beef carcass. The band saw is counterbalanced by a mass having a weight less than the weight of the band saw, and the robotic arm has a maximum load-carrying capacity less than the weight of the band saw. A torque monitor for the servo motor detects breaks in the band saw or breaks in the support for the band saw. A vision-based sensor system detects location of a tail bone on the beef carcass and identifies an age-indicating indicia. The system includes a controller in communication with the carcass rail, the carcass processing device and motor, and the vision-based sensor system.

Claim (Index 10):
The method of  claim 6  wherein the carcass is a beef carcass, and further including providing a vision-based sensor system for detecting a location on the beef carcass as the beef carcass moves on the carcass rail to a position adjacent the robot-based carcass processing device, detecting the location on the supported beef carcass as the supported beef carcass moves along the carcass rail, and moving the carcass saw to the detected location of the supported beef carcass as it moves along the carcass rail to commence cutting of the supported beef carcass.
