A device and a method are proposed for de-rinding or trimming a piece of
meat or piece of a slaughtered animal, in which an arrangement device for
the arrangement of the piece, an industrial robot with a manipulator arm
and a sensor system, which detects the part that is to be separated, are
provided. The sensor system comprises a camera and an image processing
system as well as, if necessary, a distance measuring system, which
determines the distance between a predefined zero point and a measuring
point on the surface of the piece. Further, a cutting tool is provided,
which separates the part from the piece.
