Dimensioning of Meat and Sausage Products with 2D/3D Profile Sensors

In automated cutting machines, waste must be reduced to a minimum – irregularly shaped meat and sausage products are particularly challenging. In order to achieve constant slice thicknesses and the highest possible yield, the product is measured before cutting. Several 2D/3D profile sensors are used for this, which enable seamless 360-degree measurement to capture the shape from all sides. Thanks to their stainless steel housing with protection class IP69K, the sensors are very robust and resistant to regular cleaning and disinfection processes.
