An electrode plate molding device is disclosed, including a conveying mechanism, a cutting mechanism, a first detection mechanism, and a deviation rectification mechanism. The conveying mechanism is configured to convey an electrode plate strip. The cutting mechanism is arranged downstream of the conveying mechanism along a conveying direction of the electrode plate strip. The cutting mechanism is configured to cut the electrode plate strip to form an electrode plate. The first detection mechanism is located upstream of the cutting mechanism along the conveying direction. The first detection mechanism is configured to detect a location of the electrode plate strip along a width direction of the electrode plate strip. The deviation rectification mechanism adjusts relative locations of the electrode plate strip and the cutting mechanism along the width direction in response to a detection result of the first detection mechanism.

A shearing implement for use with an excavator is disclosed. The shearing implement comprises a thumb having a grasping side and a cutting side and being pivotably attachable to the boom. A shearing blade member is pivotably attached to the cutting side of the thumb. A linear actuator has a first end attached to the shearing blade member and a second end attachable to the boom or the thumb so that extension and retraction of the linear actuator causes the shearing blade member to rotate relative to the thumb.
