Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable a cheap device to obtain efficiency-up, by arranging a plurality of pipe-shaped parts in one line to be fixed in a fixed distance by saw tooth-shaped chuck plates and inserting a cap simultaneously or one by one so as to rationally simplify the device being enabled to insert the cap to be mounted. CONSTITUTION:A device, inserting a plurality of pipe-shaped parts 3 into a guide groove 2' to be arranged in one line and positioning each end surface on the same level, separates the parts in a fixed distance by a separating piece of a parts separating tool 4. Thereafter, the device, clamping the parts 3 by almost saw tooth-shaped chuck plates 8a, 8b to be arranged and fixed in a fixed distance in one line, is constituted so to insert caps 14 simutaneously or one by one. Accordingly, the cheap device can exceptionally perform efficiency-up of mounting work of the cap 14 by enabling the cap 14 to be automatically mounted remarkably rationally simplifying the constitution. While the device, placing an end surface part of each pipe-shaped part 3 to be lined and opposed to the cap 14, has a profitable point which can correspond to the pipe-shaped part 3 even if it provides unevenness in the length.

いない。<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> Therefore, it is extremely inefficient, and since a considerable amount of pressure is required to insert and attach the cap with a large coefficient of friction, it is forced to be a tedious work and reduces yield. There are bad drawbacks. Therefore, a device that automatically inserts the cap has been devised and has been put into practical use in some places, but this device only automatically inserts the cap into the pipes that are supplied one by one, eliminating the complicated work. Although it has the effect of improving the yield, it does not improve efficiency compared to manual steaming. In addition, there is a strong desire to realize a device that can insert and attach caps to multiple pipes one at a time or multiple at the same time. It is difficult to align and position the device at intervals, resulting in a complicated configuration and a large-scale device, so it has not been put into practical use.
