ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an apparatus for automatically processing an end portion of a tube disposed along a predetermined moving path so as to be movable toward and away from the moving path. A first clamping device is mounted on the base in front of the pointing device along the moving path. A tube press is disposed between the pointing device and the first clamping device for dimpling the tube wall to form axially spaced positioning sections thereon. A second clamping device is disposed between the tube press and the pointing device for clamping the end portion of the tube. A plug feeding device is disposed between the second clamping device and the pointing device for feeding a plug from a position out of the moving path to a position thereon. A plug inserting device includes an inserting nozzle movable in parallel to the moving direction of the tube for inserting the plug into the end portion of the tube. Lubricant is supplied into the tube through the inserting nozzle. The end portion of the tube is pointed by the pointing device.
