Trimming device, trimming system and method

A method for trimming a carcass part having a skin and/or fat side by means of a trimming device for trimming the carcass part,

• wherein the trimming device comprises a blade having a cutting edge, a blade holder for holding the blade,
• wherein the blade holder comprises a tiltable blade holder segment and a non-tiltable blade holder segment,
• wherein the tiltable blade holder segment is rotatably coupled to the non-tiltable blade holder segment around an axis of rotation,
• wherein the axis of rotation is oriented parallel to a conveying direction along which the carcass part is transported to the trimming device, and an actuator that is configured to tilt the tiltable blade holder segment relative to the non-tiltable blade holder segment, the method comprising the following steps:
• a) conveying the carcass part to the trimming device along the conveying direction so that a front face of the carcass part faces the cutting edge,
• b) tilting the tiltable blade holder segment relative to the non-tiltable blade holder segment by means of the actuator based on information concerning a profile of the skin and/or fat side,
• c) changing a geometry of the cutting edge by means of the tiltable blade holder segment being tilted relative to the non-tiltable blade holder segment, and
• d) trimming the skin and/or fat side into a predetermined shape.
