Abstract:
A device for assembly of tubular cylindrical carriers (8) on a carrier cylinder (1) having a lateral surface (22) and flat surface (21, 23), a pressure medium acting on said lateral surface (22) for facilitating assembly of the tubular carrier (8) on said lateral surface, comprising an assembly aid (4), having a lateral surface which is capable of holding a tubular cylindrical carrier (8), a pressure medium operatively associated with such lateral surface (22) of said carrier cylinder (1) such that positioning of the tubular carrier (8) is made possible, switch elements (6, 11, 13, 15) for switching a pressure medium on and off provided in said carrier cylinder (1) and said assembly aid (4), said switch elements respectively located so as to switch said pressure medium on as said assembly aid approaches said carrier cylinder and a sensor element on said carrier cylinder for detecting the presence of the tubular carrier on said carrier cylinder and in response to said presence being detected, acting on said switch elements to change a volume flow of the pressure medium.
