[0018] Preferably, the round tube is formed by bending and welding metal plates, and a weld seam will be formed on the surface of the round tube. During the continuous cutting of the round tube, it will be clamped by the jacket and the cylinder three on the rotary cutting mechanism, and the round tube will not rotate; after the round tube is cut, it is clamped by the clamping arm two on the robotic arm assembly and then transported to the seam rolling mechanism for seam rolling.
