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 29):
The system of  claim 25  wherein the saw is driven by a servo motor, and further including a torque monitor for the servo motor for monitoring torque by measuring current to the servo motor to detect a break in the saw or in support for the saw during cutting of the supported beef carcass, the controller using the monitored torque to modify the cutting operation on the supported beef carcass by ceasing movement of the robotic arm of the robot-based carcass processing device and/or movement of the supported beef carcass along the carcass rail.
