Claim:
1. A corrugated tube cutting device comprising: a feeder feeding a corrugated tube such that an axial direction of the corrugated tube lies along a feeding path; a cutter cutting along a circumferential direction of the corrugated tube being fed along the feeding path; an imager capturing an image of a planned cutting position of the corrugated tube; a determiner performing image analysis of the captured image of the planned cutting position to determine whether the planned cutting position is a convex portion of the corrugated tube; and a cutting controller that causes feeder to feed the corrugated tube for a required dimension and then causes the cutter to cut the corrugated tube at the planned cutting position when the determiner determines that the planned cutting position is a convex portion of the corrugated tube, wherein the cutting controller causes the cutter to cut the corrugated tube at a position different from the planned cutting position when the determiner determines that the planned cutting position is not a convex portion of the corrugated tube.
