Machine for manufacturing pallets

A machine for manufacturing pallets, wherein each pallet comprises a first base, a second base and separators, each one of which includes a first tubular body and a second tubular body located inside the first tubular body;

• wherein the second tubular body includes end portions which protrude with respect to ends of the first tubular body;
• wherein said end portions are configured to fit inside opposing openings located in the first base and second base;
• and wherein the ends of the first tubular body are seated on opposing faces of the first base and second base;
• comprising:
• a rotary feeder configured to receive the first tubular body and the second tubular body;
• wherein the first tubular body and the second tubular body are secured separately and coaxially in the rotary feeder;
• a robotic arm configured to transfer the first tubular body and the second tubular body in pairs from the rotary feeder to an area above a transport table on which the first base of the pallet rests;
• wherein the robotic arm is also configured to fit one of the end portions of the second tubular body into an opening of the first base when it is resting on the transport table;
• and wherein the robotic arm is configured to locate the first tubular body around the second tubular body with an end of the first tubular body resting on the first base;
• and
• a gripper configured to secure the first tubular body and the second tubular body;
• wherein said gripper is incorporated in the robotic arm.
