Then, the first drive servo motor 903 drives the first drive roller 902 to rotate, transporting the pipes into the automatic bundling area for bundling. After setting the bundling position, the first drive servo motor 903 is started, so that the pipes are bundled according to the set position. After bundling is completed, the second drive roller 908 transports the pipes to the second pipe placement platform 910 for unloading, thus completing the automatic bundling of the pipes.

[0028] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: Pipes are stacked on the first pipe placement platform 904. The hydraulic press 9062 drives the hydraulic tightening limit clamp 9061 to clamp the pipes. After the pressure sensor 9064 detects that the pressure received by the pipes reaches the rated pressure value, it sends a signal to the hydraulic press controller 9065. The hydraulic press controller 9065 controls the hydraulic press 9062 to stop working. Then, the first drive servo motor 903 drives the first drive roller 902 to rotate and transport the pipes into the automatic strapping area for strapping. The strapping position is set so that the first drive servo motor 903 works according to the set value. After strapping is completed, the second drive servo motor 909 starts synchronously with the first drive servo motor 903, driving the second drive roller 908 to rotate synchronously with the first drive roller 902, and smoothly transporting the pipes to the second pipe placement platform 910 for unloading, thus completing the automatic strapping of the pipes.
