A electrode plate cutting method includes: obtaining an offset distance between a detection reference and a cutting position on an electrode plate; obtaining, based on the offset distance and a distance between the detection reference and a cutting device, an actual distance between the cutting position and the cutting device; and obtaining, based on the actual distance, a cutting time point for the cutting position to be conveyed to the cutting device, so that the cutting device cuts at the cutting position. Obtaining the offset distance between the detection reference and the cutting position of the electrode plate is equivalent to obtaining a deviation from the detection reference caused during transferring of the electrode plate.

Automated systems and processes for manufacturing post-tension tendons may comprise a catapuller configured to introduce a pre-determined length of a tendon into a tub; a cutter configured to cut the tendon when it meets the pre-determined length; and (c) a control unit configured for a user to input the pre-determined length and a pre-determined bundle diameter. The control until is typically operably connected to the cutter and to the tub. Advantageously, the tub is configured to coil the tendon to form a tendon bundle and tie the tendon bundle in the predefined bundle diameter. A movable seater station may be employed to fasten an anchor to one end of the strand and the seater station may be configured to move among two or more tubs. A manipulator may be employed to move and hang coiled tendons

A cutting position control device according to an embodiment includes an arithmetic processing circuit that receives an input of first data relating to a production schedule and material information of a material to be produced, uses the first data to calculate a first cutting position of a first cutter for a first slab cast by continuous casting equipment, generates a first parameter for setting the first cutting position for a control program introduced to a process control device, and determines whether or not to use a second cutter to further cut a second slab of a second length cut from the first slab based on the first parameter by comparing the second length and a first length set to be from a front end of the first slab to the first cutting position, wherein the second cutter is located downstream of the first cutter.

A cropping system for cropping a metal slab (102) includes at least one of a cropping length (1035, 524) system and a slab positioning system. The cropping length (1035, 524) system includes an optical sensor (118A, 118B, 318A, 318B, 518) for detecting a defect in an end (1031) of the metal slab (102), and the cropping length (1035, 524) system may determine a cropping location on the metal slab (102) based on the detected defect. The slab positioning system includes an optical sensor (118A, 118B, 318A, 318B, 518) for measuring a position of the end (1031) of the metal slab (102) relative to a cropping device of the cropping system.
