Abstract:
A cutting and insertion device for cutting an elongate tube to tube sections includes a frame section, a spinning wheel, a sheave section, a first pipe, a set of clamping members, and a set of plunger members. The spinning wheel mounts a roll of the elongate tube. The sheave section is attached to the frame section to allow traversal of the elongate tube through a first pipe. The first pipe is attached adjacent to the sheave section to receive the elongate tube, and includes slits to receive a knife to slice the elongate tube exposed to the knife at the slits to form a tube section. The clamping members are attached to the frame section to clamp the sliced tube sections at opposing ends. The plunger members are attached to the frame section to insert a fitting to the plunger member at the opposing ends of the sliced tube sections.
