FTL Tube Notching Machine with PLC Controls

This machine is used to create a notch in the exhaust tubes which is used in making Fluorescent Tube Lamps . The Notch is made for holding the Mercury Pill in the Exhaust Tube until the next process of vaporizing the mercury into the arc tube. The vapourizing of mercury helps the arc to easily pass through which creates UV Light. This UV Light emitted strikes through the phosphors inside the glass tube which converts the light into useful visible light.

This machine shapes out a uniform notch in the exhaust tubes which will be automatically conveyed using Indexing Mechanism. The Exhaust tube is pre-heated using electrical heaters and after forming of notch it is conveyed to annealer for gradual cooling process. The Notched Exhaust Tubes are unloaded automatically.

The machine is simple to operate and can be used as cost saving measure and manhandling issues concerned with glass tubings.
