Provided is a strap cutter carriage for cutting a strap and methods for cutting a strap. The strap cutter carriage includes a displacement chassis and a cutting chassis (204). It also includes a separating tongue fixedly mounted on the cutting chassis, the tongue including a ramp surface having a front end configured to slide between a strap and a reference surface of a bundle of elements such that the ramp surface separates the strap from the reference surface during the displacement of the displacement chassis. Also included is a guide fixedly mounted on the cutting chassis to guide the front end of the tongue relative to the reference surface, a presence detector for a strap which is in contact with the tongue, and a cutting blade configured to cut the strap.

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices for accurately locating the center mark for a center punch on a metal strut, which is commonly used to support cable trays and pipes in various industries. The device solves the problem of inaccurate center marking by using a center punch and a punch alignment guide. The guide sets the punch in a precise position, and by placing the device on the strut and pressing a button, a small indentation is made on the metal to mark the center point accurately. This ensures that drilling or cutting tools do not slip or wander and that holes or cuts are placed accurately.
