When the target workpiece 200 needs to be clamped, the controller starts the ninth driving member 632, and the ninth driving member 632 first causes the pair of third positioning clips to separate along the width direction of the linear guide rail 21, and after the target workpiece 200 vertically extends into the gap between the pair of third positioning clips, the ninth driving member 632 then drives the pair of third positioning clips to close and clamp the target workpiece 200, thereby completing the clamping task of the third positioning assembly 63. Of course, according to specific circumstances and needs, in other embodiments of the present invention, the ninth driving member 632 can also be an electric cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, etc., which is not limited here.
