This study improved the work efficiency by supplementing the shortcomings of the manual process by developing a double tube feeding device, and the following results were obtained by conducting the production capacity, production length, and defect rate tests. Developed a double tube production system to enable the simultaneous production of two tubes, increasing the production volume by about 1.5 times. The product length has been improved from semi-automatic to automated, and the production capacity has been improved from 16 to 25 pieces per hour (based on 15m). Developed a double-tube input straight line automatic adjustment feeder, which resulted in reducing the defect rate to less than 1%.
