The invention relates to a machine for performing the necessary process steps in order to provide finished tubes at high capacity by means of a continuously driven conveyor system. The machine has a conveyor track comprising conventional straight part-sections (11, 12, 13) combined with an arrangement of transport/transfer wheels (16-22). By virtue of their positioning, the transfer wheels form effective transport sections, which are individually adaptable to the respective processing operation, for tubes present in cassettes/tube holders in the conveyor system. Each wheel has processing tools which have the same spacing as all the cassette/tube holder positions and rotate with the respective wheel. In the preferred embodiment, use is made of robots (25, 28) for the infeed of empty tubes to and, respectively, the outfeed of processed tubes from the arrangement of transport/transfer wheels. |
