Patent number: 11639743Abstract: An elastic support device according to an embodiment includes: a first member including a first magnet; and a second member including a second magnet, disposed so as to face the first member, and movable relative to the first member in response to receipt of an external force. A magnetic force acting between the first magnet and the second magnet holds the second member in an original position when the second member does not receive an external force, and the magnetic force returns the second member to the original position when the second member is moved due to receipt of an external force.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2019Date of Patent: May 2, 2023Assignee: MAYEKAWA MFG.

Patent number: 8376814Abstract: In an automatic deboning apparatus, an X-ray irradiation unit is provided on the upstream side of a meat cutting unit in a direction of transport of the work. In the X-ray irradiation unit, an X-ray r is irradiated to a work w from an X-ray irradiation device, an image of the X-ray transmitted through the work is subjected to image processing in an image analysis process unit, and two-dimensional position coordinates of a bone part are thereby obtained. In the meat cutting unit, three robot arms are provided with cutting blades. A storage unit of a controller stores three-dimensional position coordinates of a target operation course of each of the cutting blades. The target operation course is corrected on the basis of the two-dimensional position coordinates of the bone part obtained for each work in the image analysis process unit.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2012Date of Patent: February 19, 2013Assignee: Mayekawa Mfg. Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kazuhiro Hattori, Hiroaki Muranami, Tatsuya Umino, Osamu Goto, Kenichiro Kimura

Patent number: 7198564Abstract: A deboning system of meat for a small or intermediate processing factory in which the space is saved while reduction the cost by limiting the processing range of a work thereby limiting the processing functions to those of high necessity. The deboning system of meat comprises a shoulder blade boning station (11) having a specified interval from a charging station (10) and a humerus deboning station (12) having the same interval disposed sequentially and linearly at a constant interval on the downstream side of the charging station (10). A station (13) for discharging the humerus is disposed on the downstream side of the humerus deboning station (12) and a work is tact-carried while being hanged through fixed and movable carrying passages. The work is deboned during the carrying process, and deboned humerus is discharged from a final station (discharging station) (13).Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2005Date of Patent: April 3, 2007Assignee: Mayekawa Mfg.
