Bandsaw automated portioning saw system and method of use

An automated saw for assessing an uncut meat and calculating one or more of a cut depth and cutting one or more cut portions, wherein:

• said automated saw comprises a bandsaw blade, a controller, a visual sensor and a meat positioning assembly;
• said controller comprises a computer comprising an address space, and a processor, a memory;
• said controller stores a device application in said memory and runs said device application on said processor;
• said meat positioning assembly comprises a pusher and a tray configured to move said uncut meat relative to said bandsaw blade;
• said tray is configured to hold said uncut meat;
• said pusher is configured to slide said uncut meat through said tray;
• said meat positioning assembly is configured to move said tray in a forward direction and a rearward direction relative to said bandsaw blade;
• said uncut meat comprises a first end and a second end;
• said first end of said uncut meat comprises a surface area and a diameter;
• said uncut meat comprises an uncut meat weight;
• said controller is configured, with said device application, for:
• assessing said uncut meat with said visual sensor and a scale,
• calculating a volume and density of said uncut meat along the entirety of an uncut meat length of said uncut meat,
• calculating, given weight of a desired cut portion, a fraction comprising said desired cut portion divided by said uncut meat weight,
• calculating a portion of said uncut meat comprising a volume associated with said fraction of said desired cut portion divided by said uncut meat weight,
• calculating a location for determine said cut depth,
• activating said meat positioning assembly to align a cutting plane at said cut depth from said first end, and
• cutting a portion from said uncut meat with said bandsaw blade.
