Deboning device

A deboning device includes:

• a belt conveyor configured to carry and transport a processed block meat of a meat animal,
• at least one creasing arm arranged on a robot arm which is configured to be three dimensionally controlled by a plurality of joints connected by different rotation axes, and the creasing arm is provided with a scoring hand that is configured to notch both sides of each rib adhered to the block meat conveyed by the belt conveyor,
• a rib detecting device configured to generate three dimensional data of block meat conveyed on the belt conveyor and detect the position coordinates, the number, and the shape of each rib adhering to the block meat based on the three dimensional data,
• a control device configured to create a control table based on information of a rib detected by the rib detection device and control drive of each part of the deboning device,
• wherein:
• a head exposing hand is located at a robot arm configured to be three dimensionally controlled by a plurality of joints connected by different rotation axes, and
• the head exposing hand includes a blade portion which cuts off a meat of an outer circumference of a rib tip portion to expose a tip portion of each rib.
