Abstract
A detecting device for use in a slicing apparatus which includes a blade member having an internal cutting edge in the form of a circle, a rotating driver for rotating the blade member about a center of the circle of the internal cutting edge, and a radial movement driver for producing a relative movement between the blade member and a work in a radial direction of the blade member so that an end portion of the work is cut into a piece by the internal cutting edge of the blade member, the detecting device being adapted for detecting a displacement of the blade member, includes: a detector which is disposed at a position being spaced away from the blade member and the work and allowing the piece in the process of being cut to intervene between the detector and the blade member and being operable to detect a distance to a specified position of the blade member; and a corrector which is operable to eliminate an influence to the distance detection which is caused by the intervention of the piece.
