Abstract: An installation (1) having a moving station for cutting up carcasses (2) of meat animals, the installation comprising two columns (14, 15) mounted to move over a certain stroke in the direction in which the carcasses move and in the opposite direction. One of the columns (15) carrying an abutment device (43) for coming into abutment against the outside dorsal face of the carcass along the backbone. The other column (14) carrying a cutting-up device (17) inserted via the ventral face under the tail and mounted to move vertically, and an internal guide device (31) situated under the cutting-up device (17) inserted via the ventral side of the carcass. The installation being characterized in that it includes a control and servo-control device for controlling the movement of the internal guide device (31), the abutment device (43), and the cutting-up device (17).
