In an ingot cutting apparatus that cuts an ingot using a plurality of stretched wires, load sensors are provided on the new wire side and the old wire side of the ingot, and loads applied to the new wire side and the old wire side of the ingot are measured using the load sensors on the new wire side and the old wire side. When measuring the loads, for example, the center of moment about the X-axis that is the running direction of the wire is calculated. When the deviation from the center of gravity of the ingot is greater than or equal to a reference value, notification for replacement of the wire, control of the conveying speed of the wire, control of the pressing speed of the ingot, and so forth are performed through a control unit.

A food-product slicer that includes a camming arrangement that induces a slicing action as between food-product being cut and a blade set effecting the cutting. In some embodiments, the camming arrangement includes a camming region formed on a food-product pusher, wherein interaction of the food-product with the camming region during a cutting operation induces a slicing action into the food-product. In some embodiments, the camming arrangement includes one or more camming structures, such as slots, and corresponding cam followers to impart slicing action motion into a product pusher, which in turn induces the slicing motion into food product engaged therewith, and/or into a blade set to creating the slicing action.
