Video - Y-cutter robot

IRL’s Y-cutter robot is the first machine in the world to automatically perform the “Y-cut” - the term used to describe the first two cuts on a sheep processing line. The key feature is the Y-cutter tool head that is specially designed to cut the pelt without penetrating the skin. It therefore avoids contamination being transferred across to the carcass.
