| Abstract: | An automated cutting apparatus and method having a coordinated three axes of motion (20, 28, 36) wherein one axis is designated as a master and provides a master time source and the other two axes are designated as slaves and more proportionately to the master axis. A controller and input (212, 210) device are coupled to the three axes to control the movement thereof. The input device preferably presents an operator with selectable input parameters that allow the operator to divide the piece of meat into groups and designate varying thicknesses for each group. | ||||||||||||||||||
