Abstract

See full text

The purpose of the invention is a process for changing an anode of a cell for the production of aluminium by fused bath electrolysis (2) on which at least one anode handling tool (13) is used, comprising a positioning device (13b) and a gripping device (13a), and characterised in that during replacement operations of a determined spent anode (20') by a replacement anode (20''), the position of the replacement anode (20'') is determined from a determined set of measurements of a fixed point position Po located on at least one anode handling tool (13) with respect to a determined set of reference points P located on determined objects separate from the anode handling tool. Another purpose of the invention is a pot tending machine used to implement the process. The invention significantly limits the handling operations required to determine the position of the replacement anode.
