Abstract:
    In the primal cutting-up of half carcasses of animals (12), vision systems are known whereby the determination of one or more fix points on the carcasses takes place, and where on the basis of the position of these points a visualisation of the ideal cut line is effected. But the primal cutting-up of carcasses (12) has hitherto been carried out with manually-operated saws on the basis of operator evaluation. However, the use of manually-operated saws involves the possibility of deviations in relation to the ideal cut line, and the manual work is very monotonous and fatiguing for the operators.There is thus disclosed a laying-down module (2) and a vision-based system for automatic primal cutting-up of half carcasses, comprising a laying-down module with a laying-down conveyor (18), and a laying-down and angle-positioning module (6) with sideways displaceable conveyors for positioning of a relevant carcass (12) for sawing-up in a subsequent saw module (8), and a method for the execution of automatic primal cutting-up of meat items, namely half carcasses of animals.
