Rotation of small plastic tubes
(OP)
How could I rotate small plastic tubes (sealed on one end), all in one direction ? They're 65mm long, diameter 8mm and their sealed end is 1mm thick. These tubes must be fed vertically into a machine for montage with their sealed end facing towards the floor.
I've attached 2 pictures of this plastic tube.

You might blow them into position - assuming the closed end weighs more.
Pick them up and using a "feeler" to find out which end is open/closed and flip if necessary.

It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.

Use a ramp that will shake the part off if it is top heavy.
