The visual positioning component 7 uses the camera 72 to photograph the positioning fixture 5 and uploads the image. It then uses the image information and the values ​​on the pressure gauge to determine the hard drive's position and the unlocking / removal status of the screws on the hard drive.

[0038] The screw feeder 8 stores screws. When the hard drive is screwed, the screw is picked up from the screw feeder 8 by the suction nozzle 62 on the hanging mechanism 6, and then the screw is clamped to the appropriate position. The screw is then locked onto the hard drive by the cooperation of the electric screwdriver 615 and the suction nozzle 62.

The positioning fixture 5 slides out of the opening 14 on the frame 1 under the drive of the slider 32. The manual person places the hard drive to be screwed into the hard drive placement slot 511 on the fixture base plate 51. The positioning pin 52 positions the hard drive. After the hard drive is placed, the positioning fixture is controlled to return to the designated position. Then, the moving mechanism 4 is controlled to move the hanging mechanism 6 and the vision positioning component 7 to above the positioning fixture 5. The vision positioning component 7 takes a picture of the positioning fixture 5 and performs [further action]. Positioning: Determine the hard drive's location. When removing screws, the electric screwdriver 615 of the hanging mechanism 6 slides back and forth on the Z-axis slide rail 45 of the moving mechanism 4. The electric screwdriver 615 and the suction nozzle 62 work together to remove the screws on the hard drive. After removing the screws, the positioning fixture 5 is sent out of the rack 1 under the drive of the fixing module 3, and the hard drive is manually removed. When tightening screws, the electric screwdriver 615 of the hanging mechanism 6 slides back and forth on the Z-axis slide rail 45 of the moving mechanism 4. The electric screwdriver 615 drives the suction nozzle 62 to pick up the screws on the screw feeder 8, and then moves to the designated position to tighten the screws on the hard drive. After tightening the screws, the positioning fixture 5 is sent out of the rack 1 under the drive of the fixing module 3, and the hard drive is manually removed.
