Zusammenfassung:Abstract A skinner or derinder is provided with an imaging optical sensing system to detect an operator's hand close to, or in dangerous proximity to the skinner blade and to make a motor driving a gripping roller to stop before the hand makes contact with the blade. Video cameras, disposed at distant ends of two tunnels mounted on the chassis and terminating with clear windows near the ends of the blade, form images of an elongated volume adjacent the blade. For example, a blue or green glove may be detected.
