7 stages of heat constantly rolling tubes and is the sides of the robotic arm jeweled?

OK I shouldn't admit this. When I took my first HS chem class, our first couple days of class Mr. LaPorta taught us to heat and bend tubing by stretching it as we bent, as well as to score and break it. I know it doesn't relate. Just thought I'd share.

Looks like they are making manometers to me or perhaps the next U-Tube viral sensation. Interesting pick and place arm for sure...not sure about jeweled, looks pneumatic to me.
