Abstract
`
`A high-speed foodarticle slicing machine with a slicing station, a moveable frame
`
`supporting a food article feed mechanism frame, a foodarticle gate, and a safety guard system
`
`for detecting an intrusion into the machine. Foodarticles are loaded onto a lift tray and raised to
`
`a staging position where food articles are in contact with a foodarticle gate. The lift tray is
`
`located in line with the food article feed paths such that lateral shifting of food articles into the
`
`feed paths is not needed. Foodarticle grippers, individually driven along feed paths by an
`
`overhead conveyor, move foodarticles over the food article gate towardsthe slicing station. The
`
`food article gate functions to assist in removal of food article end portions. The slicing machines
`
`utilizes a horizontally radiating laser intrusion detector to shut down systems when an unwanted
`
`intrusion is sensed.
