If the travel switch detects that the second sensing sheet 45 on the positioning block 21 is inserted into the second sensing slot 46, the step of placing the drill needle on the clamping member 12 into the loading barrel 19 or taking the drill needle out of the loading barrel 19 is performed. If the travel switch does not detect that the second sensing sheet 45 is inserted into the second sensing slot 46, the sixth driving source is continued to be controlled to drive the rotating disk 18 to rotate by a small angle, so that when the third driving source controls the positioning hole 23 to move downward, the second sensing sheet 45 on the positioning block 21 can be inserted into the second sensing slot 46.

[0080] The main controller is also electrically connected to the fifth driving source 205, and is used to control the fifth driving source 205 to drive the positioning seat 20 to move away from the first placing plate 13 when the tray clamping arm 51 is ready to clamp the fixture 14 on the fixture positioning mechanism onto the second placing plate 31 of the fixture conveying mechanism, so as to make the positioning protrusion 22 leave the area above the tray 16.

[0081] The main controller is also electrically connected to the seventh driving source 201 to control the first gear block 27 on the driving disk 26 to engage or disengage with the second gear block 28 on the rotating disk 18 .

[0082] The main controller is also electrically connected to the servo motor in the first drive assembly, and the first drive assembly controls the travel distance of the turnover tray 3 through the main controller.

[0083] The main controller is also electrically connected to the eighth driving source. In this embodiment, the number of rotations of the loading barrel 19 or the number of workpieces taken from the turnover material tray 3 can be counted to determine whether the jig 14 on the jig positioning mechanism is filled with materials. When the jig 14 on the jig positioning mechanism is filled with materials, the main controller controls the eighth driving source to drive the belt 30 to rotate. When the positioning switch detects that the second placement tray 31 moves to the effective clamping area of ​​the tray clamping arm 51, the main controller controls the eighth driving source to drive the belt 30 to stop. Then the main controller controls the tray clamping arm 51 to clamp the jig 14 on the jig positioning mechanism to the second placement tray 31 of the jig conveying mechanism. After that, the jig 14 on the jig conveying mechanism can be transferred to the next process by manual handling or other methods.
