Abstract
In an automated deboning device for deboning a bone-in leg of livestock carcass, a clamp unitsuspending the work w includes a servomotor, a threaded shaftconnected to an output shaft of the servomotorand a lifting and lowering blockthreadably mounted on the threaded shaft. A lifting and lowering rollermounted on a lifting and lowering shafttravels in a traveling pathto lower and transfer the work w to a next work station. By bring a swinging rollermounted on the lifting and lowering shaftin contact with the cam plate, the lifting and lowering shaftis rotated by a setting angle so that the work w faces round cutter blades. Thus, the pathway of the round cutter bladescan be approximately straight, thereby simplifying and reducing the cost of the moving mechanism.
