Abstract
A cylinder for storing a plurality of rings to be crimped, said cylinder comprising a base body including a distribution outlet, a main cylindrical body mounted so that it can rotate along a cylinder axis relative to said base body in a plurality of angular positions, said main cylindrical body comprising a plurality of sheaths which are parallel to one another and each suitable for accommodating a plurality of rings, each sheath being arranged so as to lead to said distribution outlet of said base body for a predetermined angular position of said main cylindrical body.
Claims8
A crimping module comprising:
- a cylinder for storing a plurality of rings to be crimped, said cylinder comprising a base body including a distribution outlet, a main cylindrical body mounted rotatably along a cylinder axis relative to said base body in a plurality of angular positions, said main cylindrical body comprising a plurality of sheaths which are parallel to one another and each suitable for accommodating a plurality of rings, each sheath being arranged so as to lead to said distribution outlet of said base body for a predetermined angular position of said main cylindrical body;
- and
- a mechanism for positioning a ring on an attachment rod, the positioning mechanism comprising at least one receiving finger suitable for extending at least partially into the distribution outlet of the cylinder.
An automaton for crimping a ring, comprising at least one mobile arm including a head and at least one crimping module mounted on said head, the crimping module comprising:
- a cylinder for storing a plurality of rings to be crimped, said cylinder comprising a base body including a distribution outlet, a main cylindrical body mounted rotatably along a cylinder axis relative to said base body in a plurality of angular positions, said main cylindrical body comprising a plurality of sheaths which are parallel to one another and each suitable for accommodating a plurality of rings, each sheath being arranged so as to lead to said distribution outlet of said base body for a predetermined angular position of said main cylindrical body;
- and
- a mechanism for positioning a ring on an attachment rod, the positioning mechanism comprising at least one receiving finger suitable for extending at least partially into the distribution outlet of the cylinder.
