If the temperature sensor detects that the glue temperature is lower than the preset value, the glue heating device 31 starts to work to preheat the glue. If the temperature sensor detects that the glue temperature is higher than the preset value, the glue heating device 31 does not work. Then, the pipe fitting rotating positioning device 2 drives the corresponding rotation of the pipe fitting 100 and cooperates with the pipe fitting glue coating mechanism 3 to coat at least one circle of glue on the corresponding end portion of the pipe fitting 100.
