Abstract
A device for automatically shearing hooves from a carcass continuously moving along an overhead rail including a frame horizontally slidable on a base and a shearing assembly vertically slidable on the frame. Drivers are provided to move the shearing assembly to the proper position relative to the hooves on an approaching carcass and to move a blade on the shearing assembly from the open to the closed position. The positioning drivers are controlled by sensors that detect the horizontal and vertical location of the approaching hooves. A pass-through shearing region defined by the shearing assembly preferably accommodates two hooves simultaneously and guides are provided to sweep the shearing region and direct the hooves into the path of the blade. The blade driver is actuated responsive to a signal from a carcass position sensor indicating the presence of a hoof in the shearing region. Multiple safety interlocks are provided.
