Abstract

In a method for slicing products, a plurality of products is fed next to one another along a product feed direction to a cutting plane in which a cutting blade moves. The rear ends of the products are brought into engagement with respective product grippers which are attached to a common feed unit and are extendable independently of one another relative to the feed unit in the product feed direction and are retractable against the product feed direction. The feed unit is moved along the product supply direction in a product position search run towards the products for the bringing into engagement of the product grippers with the rear ends of the products, wherein, during the product position search run, the current position of the product gripper is determined as the product end position for each product gripper on a contact with the rear end of the associated product.
