<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To always avoid the failure of first and second tube ends in joining together without the need for any complicated operations, when they are fused together. <P>SOLUTION: A tube joining device 1 includes a controller 15 for the control of clamp driving motors 13, 14. The controller 15 has a mechanism that changes the positions, with clamp driving motors 13, 14, between a separation position in which the clamp mechanisms 10, 11 are moved to directions away from each other and a position where they join together at their joining ends; subtracts the separate distance of the clamp mechanisms 10, 11 when being joined together from a separation distance of the clamp mechanisms 10, 11 at a separation position to obtain a projection degree for each joint end of tubes 100, 102; makes a comparison of these two measured projection degrees in light of the predetermined appropriate range of projection degree necessary for making sure of avoiding the failure of their correct joint; and further notifies any obtained projection degree deviated from an appropriate range to the controller. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
