COUTEAU ANNULAIRE AYANT UN CAPTEUR POUR MESURER LA PROFONDEUR DE COUPE D'UNE LAME DE COUTEAU ROTATIVE

摘要

The disclosure relates to an annular knife with a sensor for determining the cutting depth and a method for determining the cutting depth. When trimming meat such as at abattoirs a customer may require a fat layer of a given thickness, however the natural fat layer of animals vat between different carcasses and within the individual carcass/meat piece. By determining the fat layer thickness and variation hereof of a meat piece before trimming the meat piece an operator may be presented with such information and be able to remove tit in different areas to obtain the required thickness. The trimming may be performed with a system calculating in real unit how much fat is to be removed when some fat has already been removed by an operator.
