The tube bundles are loaded by the operator in the storage unit and a conveyor system carries them to the position of use;
The machine picks the single tube from the bundle and moves it to the upper part of the machine;
A mechanical arm turns the tube into the vertical position and pushes it into the storage unit mounted on the upper carousel of the forming machine.
Applications:
Automatic tube loader allows for automatically feeding the vertical rotating machines with glass tubing. Continuous feeding allows for reducing the personnel required, as the operator only needs to load one or more tube bundles in a safe and ergonomic position.
