Midwest Machine’s Automated Hock Cutter is engineered to deliver long-term value. By leveraging AI-driven precision, it produces consistently accurate cuts that reduce waste and drive meaningful cost savings over time. Suboptimal cuts may seem minor, but they compound into significant losses in the long run. The Automated Hock Cutter removes the guesswork from cut placement. Using a high-speed computer vision system, it analyzes live camera data at line speed to ensure an optimal cut every time. This system is powered by a sanitary, 6-axis Staubli/Fanuc robot paired with a hydraulically powered beef hock cutter attachment.
