3D Scanning

Fillets are scanned and analyzed by a 3D vision system to assess shape and dimensions for accurate trimming.

Automatic Trimming

Fillets are trimmed automatically according to predefined specifications, optimizing quality and appearance.

Pinbone Removal

Pinbones are extracted using a fully automated, multi-lane pinbone removal system designed for speed and efficiency.
