Embodiment Construction

[0079] figure 2 A flowchart showing a method according to the invention for automatically cutting a meat product, in particular beef tenderloin, with a thumb-shaped portion extending away from the head of the meat product towards the tail, such that the meat product has a V-shape. In the case where the meat product is sirloin, there is an image composition of the main portion comprising a head, a central portion and a tail, wherein the thumb portion extends obliquely away from the head in a direction generally towards the tail The pattern is the result of a pruning process in which, for example, fat and membrane portions, including those between muscle portions, have been removed to reveal a V-shaped recess as shown.

[0080] In step (S1) 201, the meat product to be cut is conveyed by any type of conveying means, for example a conveyor including a conveyor belt.

[0081] In step (S2) 202, image data of the meat product is generally acquired while the meat product is being con...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for automatically cutting a meat product, in particular sirloin, having a thumb-like portion extending away from the head of the meat product towards the tail, so that the meat product has a V-shape. The method comprises: delivering a meat product to be cut (201), acquiring image data of the meat product (202), determining the position of the boundary between the thumb and the head of the meat product (203), using the image data to instruct the cutting unit to The meat product is cut into portions (204), wherein the cutting includes cutting on both sides of a border location such that the resulting portion meets predefined criteria, the predefined criteria including indicating the size of a thumb in the resulting portion standard.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method and a device for automatically cutting a meat product, in particular sirloin, with a thumb-shaped portion extending away from the head of the meat product towards the tail, so that the meat product has a V-shape. Background technique [0002] Figure 1 schematically shows a beef tenderloin 100, wherein the uppermost portion 111 is generally referred to as the head of the tenderloin, the lowermost 104 to 106 are referred to as the tail of the tenderloin, and the portions (101 to 103) in between are generally referred to as the tail of the tenderloin. For the central part of the tenderloin. After the tenderloin has been trimmed, such as by removing some portions of fat, membrane, etc., the thumb 110 of the tenderloin extends outwardly from the head 111 and points slightly toward the tail of the tenderloin. [0003] As shown here, a cutting profile for the tenderloin has been formed based eg on image data for inst...
