An apparatus for automatized handling of tubular sleeves.

摘要

The apparatus comprises a number of stations in which various kinds of treatments and machining operations are performed. Each station comprises a clamping means (28) in which the tubular sleeve rests while the treatment or machining operation associated with that station is being performed. Each station also comprises a movable carriage (18) designed to adapt the station to tubular sleeves (10) of various lengths. …At each end of the tubular sleeve the stations are provided with one pivotable arm (30) each, designed to lift the tubular sleeve (10) away from the clamping means and advance it in a controlled manner to the next station. The stations are equipped with tools designed to treat and machine the tubular sleeve. One of the tools is movably mounted on the carriage (18).
