The visual guidance mechanism 402 on the upper part of the material box first visually locates the bulk material placed in the material box, and the Z-axis vacuum picking mechanism 32 takes the small round glass found by the visual guidance mechanism 402, and then moves to the top of the precise positioning mechanism 403 for precise positioning again, and then moves to the top of the disc at the designated position, and places the glass on the disc, and then repeats until the disc is full of small round glasses.
