    摘要: An anode servicing assembly (30, 35) for an aluminium electrolysis plant, said aluminium electrolysis plant comprising at least one line (L1, L2) of electrolysis cells (C1-Cn, C'1-C'n) connected in series, each cell having a plurality of anode assemblies (5) connected to an anode beam,
    said anode servicing assembly comprising:
    - an elongated body (31),
    - running means adapted to allow movement of said elongated body along a running direction, substantially parallel to main axis of said line (L1, L2),
    - an anode servicing machine (32) mounted on said elongated body, said anode servicing machine comprising
    o at least two operating devices (45, 55, 65, 75, 85, 95), each adapted to fulfil at least one specific function different from cell lifting and anode beam raising,
    o at least two support assemblies (40, 50, 60, 62, 70, 72, 80, 81, 82, 83, 90, 91, 92, 93), each adapted to support a respective operating device with respect to said elongated body,

    said operating devices (45, 55, 65, 75, 85, 95) being movable independently the one with respect to the other, along at least one of a longitudinal axis (L31) of said elongated body (31) and a vertical axis (ZZ).
