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 25):
A system for processing a suspended beef carcass as the carcass is moved along a defined path comprising:\n a robot-based carcass processing device having a robotic arm on which is mounted a saw capable of effecting a cutting operation on the beef carcass, the robot-based carcass processing device being disposed adjacent the beef carcass; a vision-based sensor system for detecting a location on the beef carcass, the location being expressed in coordinate data in Cartesian space (X, Y, Z locations); and a controller in communication with the carcass rail, the carcass processing device, and the vision-based sensor system, the controller being capable of receiving the location on the beef carcass in Cartesian coordinates from the vision-based sensor, converting the Cartesian coordinates of the location into coordinates useable by the robot-based carcass processing device, sending a signal from the controller to the robot-based carcass processing device to move the carcass saw to the detected location of the beef carcass, commencing a cut at the detected location of the supported beef carcass, and moving the saw to cut the supported beef carcass.
