<p>An assembly for automatic loading of glass tubes into thermoforming machines comprises an apparatus (10) for conveying the glass tubes (25) and a manipulator (20) of the glass tubes (25). The conveying apparatus (10) is provided with at least two seats (16, 36) for housing, in each of them, a container (12, 13) for the glass tubes (25) and has means for its own rotation about a substantially vertical axis, so as to bring the containers (12, 13) full of glass tubes (25) up to the manipulator (20); in the conveying apparatus (10) the containers (12, 13) are kept in the seats (16, 36) in a position slightly inclined with respect to the vertical and are open on one side to enable the manipulator (20) to pick up the glass tubes (25). <IMAGE></p> |
