Abstract
The invention relates to a method of acquiring slices or portions of slices of constant weight from food products sliced by a cutting apparatus. A plurality of cross-sectional areas Fi of the product are determined for at least one product to be sliced, in particular in accordance with the light sectioning process. The total weight Gges of the product is determined; control data are calculated using the cross-sectional areas Fi and the total weight Gges; and the cutting apparatus, is operated at least in part using the control data.

A method for acquiring slices or portions of slices of constant weight from food products sliced by a cutting apparatus, comprising:
- providing at least one product to be sliced;
- determining a plurality of cross-sectional areas Fi of the product;
- determining the total weight Gges of the product;
- calculating control data using the cross-sectional areas Fi and the total weight Gges;
- operating the cutting apparatus at least in part using the control data;
- and
- preparing a weight table Gbis(i) for the calculation of the control data only from the cross-sectional areas Fi and from the total weight Gges in accordance with
- Gbis(i)=Gbis(i−1)+Gi,
- wherein Gi=Gges*Fi/Fges and i=1 to n.
A method for determining control data for an apparatus for slicing food products, comprising:
- determining a plurality of cross-sectional areas Fi of at least one product to be sliced;
- and
- preparing a weight table Gbis(i) only from the cross-sectional areas Fi and from the total weight Gges of the at least one product for determining the control data in accordance with
- Gbis(i)=Gbis(i−1)+Gi,
- wherein Gi=Gges*Fi/Fges and i=1 to n.
An apparatus for slicing food products, comprising:
- a product feed which is designed to feed at least one product to be sliced to a cutting plane in which at least one cutting blade moves;
- a scanning device, working in accordance with a light sectioning process, for determining a plurality of cross-sectional areas Fi of the product;
- and
- a control and calculation device for calculating a control data using the cross-sectional areas Fi and the total weight Gges of the product and for operating the cutting apparatus, while using the control data, and the control and calculation device is designed to prepare a weight table Gbis(i) only from the cross-sectional areas Fi and from the total weight Gges for the calculation of the control data in accordance with
- Gbis(i)=Gbis(i−1)+Gi,
- wherein Gi=Gges*Fi/Fges and i=1 to n.
An apparatus for determining a control data for an apparatus for slicing food products, comprising:
- a scanning device for determining a plurality of cross-sectional areas Fi of at least one product to be sliced;
- and
- a calculation device which is designed to prepare a weight table Gbis(i) only from the cross-sectional areas Fi and from the total weight Gges of the product for calculating the control data in accordance with
- Gbis(i)=Gbis(i−1)+Gi,
- wherein Gi=Gges*Fi/Fges and i=1 to n.
