Abstract
In a device and method for controlling the commencement of operation of at least one tool in a fish processing machine, a guide element penetrates the interior of the fish so as to perform alignment of the fish before the tool begins its application. A monitoring device associated with the guide element includes a sensor for determining the guide element/fish position. An evaluating unit connected to the sensor compares nominal and actual position values. On reaching an adjustable nominal position value, a signal for actuating the tool is triggered. Therefore, the tool comes into operation only when the monitoring device yields an actual value for the fish position which corresponds to the nominal value when the guide element has penetrated properly.
