    摘要: A cutting machine includes a table having a planar working surface lying in a working surface plane, a protective pane, a light curtain device configured to generate a light curtain, a crossbeam above the working surface and designed for linear positionability parallel to a first horizontal axis, and a module on the crossbeam and designed for linear positionability parallel to a second horizontal axis perpendicular to the first horizontal axis. The cutting machine further includes a control unit configured to control the cutting machine. The cutting machine has a first operating state and a second operating state. In the first operating state, the protective pane on a first side of the table is below the working surface plane. In the second operating state, both the protective pane and the light curtain on the first side of the table are at least partially above the working surface plane.

    摘要: A method visualizes manufacturing process information during manufacturing of workpieces with a flatbed machine tool. The workpieces are output as cut material on a pallet of the flatbed machine tool, a sorting table, or a conveyor belt. Workpiece image data is provided in a control system. The image data is associated with a workpiece and is for display on a display unit. Workpiece-specific manufacturing process information is provided in the manufacturing control system, and is acquired during manufacturing of the workpieces and includes features of cutting processes. A database of illustration options is provided in the manufacturing control system, the options are associated with a specific manufacturing feature and are applicable to the workpiece image data to cause an illustration of the respective workpiece image data on the display unit. The workpiece image data is displayed on the display unit, while taking into account illustration options in the workpiece-specific manner.

    摘要: A food processing system includes a structural frame with a conveyor that defines a processing path. The system includes a vision subsystem that captures images of opposite sides of a material on the conveyor and generates superimposed and extracted boundaries of main products and co-products in the material based on the images. The boundaries are converted into coordinates for guiding an automated cutting subsystem, which cuts the material along the boundaries. The separation and material handling subsystem utilizes curvature in the conveyor and a shaker conveyor system to separate or provide more space between the main products and the co-products after the cutting operation. The separation and material handling subsystem may also include a pick and place system that identifies and remove the co-products from the main products on the conveyor, while also providing feedback to the vision subsystem to improve the precision of additional cutting operations.

    摘要: A transport unit, such as a feeder of a packaging device, is provided, wherein the loading of the transport unit by portions is registered by a control and stored in a memory of the control. The transport unit, in particular its operating unit, is designed in such a manner that an operator can select and mark food pieces or portions to be removed from the transport unit and actually removed, on a display of the operating unit where they are displayed in a run during operation of the transport unit, whereupon the control automatically deletes the food pieces or portions in its memory.
    For this purpose, the operator observes the transported food pieces or portions, preferably in reality, or on the display of the operating unit, and marks them as rejects, either by clicking on them with a cursor or touching them in the case of a touch-sensitive display.

    摘要: A cutting system for cutting sheets of material can automatically transfer original registration marks or other indicia from one side of the material to an opposite side, in direct alignment with the original registration marks or other indicia. The cutting system includes a cutting station, a feed station, and a registration transfer system between the feed and cutting stations. The registration transfer system includes a camera or other detector that moves in unison with a pen or other marker-type device to respectively detect the original registration marks or other indicia and apply a registration marks or other indicia on the sheets.
