摘要： A conveyor (22) moves workpieces (WP) past a scanning station (40) to ascertain one or more physical parameters of the workpiece (WP) and to a portioning station (24) wherein the workpiece (WP) is portioned into desired smaller portions. Thereafter, the conveyor (22) carries a portioned workpiece (WP) to an unloading station (26) where one or more pickup devices (28) removes specific portioned workpieces (PP) from the conveyor and places the portioned workpieces onto take away conveyors (30) for other locations remote from the first conveyor. A control system, composed in part of a computer (42), keeps track of the locations of the workpieces (WP) on the conveyor (22) and also optionally on the take away conveyor (30) so that portioned pieces (PP) are placed at specific desired locations remote from the conveyor (22) by the pickup devices (28).

摘要： An apparatus and method for performing high speed interruption of the flow of a very fine, high pressure, high speed water jet 12 of the type used to cut foods, paper, and other goods. The water jet 12 is interrupted by a pivotal blocking bar 22 within a blocker housing. The blocking bar 22 is pivoted in a collar 24b to a first desired position out of the path of water jet 12 or to a second desired position for blocking the path of water jet 12. A pivot arm 28, controlled by an output shaft 30 of a rotary actuator 32, controls the rotation of the blocking bar 22. A high pressured airflow is introduced into the device for controlling the exhaustion of blocked water within the device and for cooling the rotary actuator 32.

摘要： A conveyor 12 includes an infeed/scanning section (18) and a cutting/outfeed section (22). Both sections have an endless belt (70) and (180) each driven by a friction drive roller (100) and (200). Adequate frictional load is applied between the endless belts and corresponding drive rollers by tension assemblies, each having a tensioning roller (86), (188) rotatably mounted on a pivot frame structure (112), (220) allowing the weight of the tensioning roller to be applied to the return run of the endless belts. Dampeners (130) (270) are integrated with the tensioning rollers (86) (188) to dampen vibrations in the endless belts (70) (180).

摘要： An apparatus for cutting workpieces (36) moving along a path relative to the apparatus, including a guide arm (20), a tool mount (24), and two rotation mechanisms (28), (30), is provided. The guide arm (20) includes mounted links (40), (46), and at least two intermediate links (42), (44), pivotably connected end-to-end to each other to define a multiple bar linkage arrangement. The tool mount (24) is attached to the guide arm (20) at a connection of two of the intermediate links. The rotation mechanisms (28), (30) are in communication with the links (40), (46), for pivoting the links (40), (46) to cause movement of the intermediate links (42), (44), further causing the desired movement of the tool mount (24) in the path of the moving workpiece (36). Additional components include a second guide arm (22) positioned on the opposite side of the workpiece (36). The tool mount (24) is elongated to hold multiple nozzles (58) and is pivotably connected between the two guide arms (20), (22). In a second embodiment, the apparatus includes a carriage (82), a pivot frame (80) with a longitudinal guideway (88) capable of engaging the carriage (82), a translation mechanism for moving the carriage (82) along the guideway (88), a tool mount (24) attached to the carriage (82), and a rotation mechanism for pivoting the pivot frame (80). The combined rotation of the pivot frame (80) and translation of the carriage (82) causes desired movement of the tool mount (24) in the path of the moving workpiece (36). Additional components include a second pivot frame (100) positioned on the opposite side of the workpiece (36). The tool mount (24) is elongated to hold multiple nozzles (58) or other tools, and is pivotably connected between the carriages (82) of the first and second pivot frames (80), (100). The apparatus of either embodiment has 2 degrees of freedom, permitting a variety of available cutting patterns.

摘要： A portioning system (10) includes a scanner (16) for scanning a passing poultry breast (14). A cutting device (18), a slicing device (20) and/or other equipment may be used to portion, trim, or otherwise process the poultry breast under the control of a computer (22). The computer also utilizes the information from the scanner to determine position and the angular orientation of the poultry breast relative to a reference line by determining directional lines corresponding to physical attributes of the poultry breast. One directional line is related to the principal axis of the poultry breast, determined from the axis of least inertia of the poultry breast when analyzing the regions of the poultry breast above a selected elevation of the poultry breast.

摘要： A method and system are provided for automatically portioning workpieces, such as food products, by simulating portioning the workpieces in accordance with the one or more desired shapes of the final piece(s) as a directly controlled physical characteristic (parameter/specification) as well as one or more resulting indirectly controlled physical characteristics (parameters/specifications). The desired shape(s) of the final piece(s) are defined by a plurality of manipulatable reference coordinates. A workpiece is scanned to obtain scanning information, then portioning of the workpiece is simulated in accordance with the desired shape(s) of the final piece(s) defined by the directly controlled reference coordinates, thereby to determine the one or more indirectly controlled physical characteristics of the one or more final pieces to be portioned from the workpiece. The simulated portioning of the workpiece is performed for multiple combinations of directly controlled shapes as defined by the modified or edited reference coordinates and indirectly controlled physical characteristics until an acceptable set of a directly controlled shape and resulting one or more indirectly controlled physical characteristics is determined.

摘要： A portioning apparatus (10) includes a powered conveyor (12) for carrying workpieces (WP) past a scanning station (14) and past a cutting station (20). Information from the scanning station pertaining to physical parameters of the workpiece is transmitted to a control system (16) which then determines an optimal cutting strategy for the workpiece, which strategy is implemented at the cutting station (20). The length of time required to portion the workpiece is also determined, and this information is used to ascertain whether the speed of the conveyor (12) is optimal or should be changed.
