PURPOSE:To enable the automated insertion of many tubes without any damage thereon by erecting up a cone type pilot pin fo fitted to one end of an insertion tube as to he detachable, aligning all tubes made upright with an insertion hole and then inserting all the tubes in one lot. CONSTITUTION:Tubes 2 are continuously fed one by one from a tube feed device 10 to an inclined rail 12. And the tubes 2 are arranged on the rail 12 and transferred toward a tube receiver 13. In the course of tube transfer, a pilot pin mounting machine 13 fits a pilot pin 9 to one end of each tube 2, and the tubes 2 fitted with the pin 9 are received by the tube receiver 13 and temporarily kept in a waiting condition. During the aforesaid process, the clamping device 16 of a tube loading device 15 is shifted and made to clamp a plurality of the waiting tubes 2. Then, the device 15 is shifted above a tube cart 17. In this state, the device 16 is turned and the pin 9 is directed up. The tubes 2 are vertically turned and inserted in a guide rod 18. Then, it becomes possible to insert the tubes 2 in the rod 18 smoothly, because the tip of the rod 18 is tapered. |
