DEVICE FOR IMPLEMENTING A SOCKET ON AN END OF CROSSCUT PLASTIC PIPES

摘要

A device is described for implementing a socket on an end of crosscut plastic pipes (3) having a framework (4), having a transverse conveyor (27) for the plastic pipes (3), having at least two units situated along the transverse conveyor (27) in the framework (4), on the one hand, for heating the pipe ends (2) and, on the other hand, for widening the heated pipe ends (2) to form a socket, the units having jaw tools (16, 17), which externally enclose the pipe ends (2), and which can be fed transversely to the conveyance direction with the aid of actuators (18) mounted in the framework (4), and having at least one tool (7, 8), which is axially insertable into the pipe end (2) for at least one of the units. In order to provide simple conditions for refitting of the device, it is proposed that the units form interchangeable modules (1), which are mounted so they are displaceable in the axial direction in the framework (4), and which comprise mounts (24) for the jaw tools (16, 17), which are detachable from their actuators (18), and comprise all of the particular tools (7, 8) and drives (11, 12) associated with these units, with the exception of the actuators (18) for the jaw tools (16, 17).
