Abstract
A method of processing fish in a machine is disclosed, which method enables the control of the time of application and of the control paths of setting members for the tools and guides of the machine and a simple structure of the latter. This controlling is useful and broadly adaptable for timed fish processing machines as well as for such operating non-timed. A measuring device determines a quantity or value to be measured in the form of travel units by the counting of pulses for each fish to be processed, this measured value being proportional to the size of the respective fish, being fed into a computer as the total sum value of the sequence of pulses, and causing a control device to start counting the pulses in turn. The computer determines control data taking into account fish and machine data stored therein, said control data being decisive for the starting times of the single setting members of the tools and their characteristics of movement. The tools become active by activation of the setting members when a starting time value associated to each processing tool and guide corresponds to the position or state of counting reached in the control device.
