ABSTRACT:
A tube handling machine for loading and unloading tube workpieces, such as hoses, from mandrels is disclosed. The machine includes a mandrel support which mounts a plurality of mandrels. First and second pluralities of driven rollers have outer surfaces for engaging the tube workpieces for urging them along the mandrels. A pivotal magazine holds a supply of tubular workpieces and directs them to the rollers. In a preferred embodiment, a mandrel support includes a gripper for engaging a predetermined mandrel support and moving it toward a position where the mandrels are between the first and second pluralities of driven rollers.
