  • Patent number: 10843279
    Abstract: The device for cutting individual tubes from a continuous tubular product moving in translation in an uninterrupted manner and formed by a production machine, comprises at least one frame that is stationary relative to the machine, an assembly that is movable in translation relative to the frame and supports a cutting head moved in reciprocating linear translation and in rotation, a first mechanism for moving said cutting head in reciprocating translation, a second mechanism for rotating said cutting head and a third mechanism for actuating the start and the end of the cutting operation, in which said mechanisms are stationary relative to the frame of the device.

  • Patent number: 7156219
    Abstract: Installation for assembling tube components, particularly bodies (1) with shoulders, comprising the following elements arranged in succession: a linear body conveyor (4), a transfer system (7) designed to apply a change in orientation to the bodies (1) of about 90°, an assembly unit (8) for fixing the shoulders to the bodies (1), characterized in that the transfer system (7) consists of a device (9) for gripping the bodies and of a device (17) for changing the orientation of the bodies, the orientation-change device comprising a rotary conveyor (17), of the conveyor belt type, which is arranged at right angles to the direction of the linear conveyor (4), the said rotary conveyor (17) comprising a belt (18, 19) rotating about a direction that makes an angle of about 45° with the direction of the linear conveyor (4), the belt (18, 19) comprising elements (15) for grasping the bodies, the shape of which is designed so that the bodies (1) are initially grasped on one of the sides of the rotary conveyor (17), in a
