Clarification request(s) and response
njbeckett (asker): 3:12pm Apr 20, 2005: More context - Das abgeschnittene Rohr aus der Extruderlinie wird auf der Rollenbahn der Ablegvorrichtung soweit vorgeschoben, bis dieser den am Ende der Rollenbahn befindlichen Endschalter betätigt. Die Ablegvorrichtung beginnt nun sich nach unten abzusenken. Nach Erreichen der Absenkhöhe rollt das Rohr über die Mitnehmer auf den Ablegetisch und betätigt dabei einen weiteren Endschalter. Dieser gibt das Signal zum Anheben der Ablegevorrichtung auf die eingestellte Arbeitshöhe. Nach Erreichen der Arbeitshöhe beginnt der Automatikzyklus wieder von vorn.

pipe-laying fitting

Explanation:
Looks like this is a possibility; "device" really sounds weird here...
"Pipe-layer" is probably all you need for your "einheit".

disagree Darin Fitzpatrick: Based on the additional context, this device accepts pipe from an extruder. "Pipe-laying" is installing pipe.
