PURPOSE: A tube erecting device is provided to improve durability without bending an air tube of a vacuum adsorber that adsorbs the tube when repeating a tilting movement rotating the tube perpendicularly. CONSTITUTION: A tube(51) aligned in a line on a chute of a tube supplier drops over a tube settling stand(8) and stops an adsorbent hole(11) to be settled in a recessed groove of the tube settling stand. A vacuum pump is operated to suck air of an air tube and an absorbing operation of the vacuum pump makes air inside an adsorbent channel(13), an air channel(9) and a hollow portion vacuum to be vacuum-adsorbed in the tube settling stand(8). Then a cam(65) rotates and contacts to an embossing portion(65a) of the cam. A tilting frame perpendicularly rotates with a rotatable shaft as a medium. Herein, the air tube is connected to a sealing case(1) fixed to a support frame and rotational movement of the tilting frame does not have any interlocking action with the air tube. Upon a tube(51) erected vertically, the process is finished and a tube pushing rod(75) descends to erect the tube onto a tube holder(77).
