1. Introduction
Tube production today demands automation and production efficiency.
That’s why Tube factories have a Straight Tube Feeder for faster production.
Tube feeder allows stable tube loading and guidance.
It also increases productivity while reducing manpower.
Tube feeding equipment often complements other machines like
- Tube Processing Machine
for cutting bending and forming tubes.
Tube feeding for HVAC complements
- HVAC Manufacturing Equipment
for manufacturing coils and ducts.
Tube feeding for heat transfer also complements equipment like
- Heat Transfer Manufacturing Equipment
that produces heat exchangers.
Find tube automation equipment that fits your needs from Nanjing Bangwin Machine.
2. What Is a Straight Tube Feeder
Straight tube feeder is a mechanical device that automatically feeds straight tubes.
They help to consistently feed materials into your equipment accurately.
Manual feeding of materials is time consuming and ineffective.
Automated solutions increase your production efficiency.
3. Working Principle
Automation feeding method is adopted.
- Loading tube into storage rack
- Separation of tubes
- Feeding separated tubes into processing machine
- Position alignment
- Transfer tubes into next machine
There are sensors to detect each position of the tube.
That’s why it can produce stably.
4. Main Components
- Feeder rack
Storage component that mounts raw tubes
- Separation device
Component that can feed only 1 tube at a time
- Conveyor
Tube transportation component
- PLC
Component of automation logic
- Position sensor
Component to monitor position
Straight tube Feeder consists of above components.
5. Install Location
Straight Tube Feeder is not an individual machine.
It is usually installed in complete production line.
Such as:
- Tube cutting machine
- Pipe punching machine
- Straightening machine
- Welding System
In smart factories, it is installed in complete 👉 Tube Processing Machine
automation production line.
6. Features
