The dual-station suction lifter 700a is used to transfer the workpiece from the output end of the drilling machine 300 to the second conveyor roller group 100b.

[0037] In the prior art, the workpiece is conveyed manually, and a large space is needed for the storage area. Since the plate is blanked and the plate surface does not have patterns and characters, mixing of materials often occurs. Manual handling leads to scratches, resulting in poor quality of the plate, and it is difficult to manage the excess material. The plate placing station 100a1 is arranged to have a route planned by the MES system before placing the plate, and the route adjustment of the plate is realized by the turning mechanism, avoiding manual handling, saving labor costs and reducing labor intensity. Mixing of materials is avoided, the probability of scratches is reduced, and the quality of the plate is improved. In addition, the three-station suction crane 700b and the four-station suction crane 700c can suction and lift the excess material to the predetermined position, making the management of the excess material more simple and convenient. The turning mechanism realizes the path switching of different plates, so that different plates can be transmitted to the corresponding equipment in different paths for processing, avoiding the trouble of manual handling and saving labor costs.

[0038] It should be noted that the MES system is a common production management system. After the plate is blanked, the transmission route can be planned according to the type of the plate during blanking. For example, when the plate is an inner layer plate, an outer layer plate or an old excess material, the transmission route is different. Whether the plate needs to be baked or ground, the transmission route is also different. The turning mechanism is a common turning mechanism, including a top lifting transplanting machine. When blanking, assuming that one original plate can be blanked into four product plates and the target demand is fifteen, four original plates are blanked, and a total of sixteen product plates are obtained. The excess material is transferred by the three-station suction crane 700b and the four-station suction crane 700c according to the actual situation, and is transported to the warehouse by the AGV robot. At this time, the output excess material is new excess material, and the old excess material is stored in the warehouse. At this time, the AGV robot takes the old excess material out and feeds it to the second turning mechanism 120 or the third turning mechanism 130, so that the old excess material is also included in the demand, ensuring that the warehouse stores new excess material. The so-called excess material is the excess plate, which is more than the demand, and needs to be stored.

[0039] Currently, PCB products are generally transported manually after cutting, requiring a large storage area. Since the cut boards lack graphics and characters, mixing of materials frequently occurs. Manual handling leads to scratches and other quality defects, and managing leftover materials is difficult. In contrast, the installation of several conveyor roller groups with steering mechanisms allows for multi-path planning, avoiding the hassle of manually transporting materials to the IR oven 400 or edge grinding machine 500, saving labor costs and reducing labor intensity. Furthermore, the planned routes reduce manual intervention, preventing mixing and scratches, thus improving board quality. The three-station 700b and four-station 700c suction lifters, combined with AGV robots, also enable better management of leftover materials. Some systems use AGV robots for conveying, but this requires a large area for line-side storage; a sufficient number of AGV robots; significant investment in AGV robots; and while AGVs are suitable for relatively long-distance transport, deploying too many AGV robots in limited space to handle frequent product loading and unloading. However, a combination of conveyor rollers and AGV robots allows the AGV robots to only need to connect to corresponding steering mechanisms and storage bins, saving production space. The number of AGV robots can be determined based on the number of steering mechanisms, reducing the overall number of AGV robots required. No intermediate storage is needed during transport, shortening the operational cycle of the process.

[0040] In some embodiments, a panel cutter 800 is also included. The panel cutter 800 is located behind the board feeding station 100a1. The panel cutter 800 is used to cut the board. The panel cutter 800 and each conveying roller group form a cutting and conveying system, which can realize automated conveying after cutting. The automated conveying is based on the route planned by the MES system. It is achieved by relying on the PLC to control the motors of each roller group and the motors of the steering mechanism and other actuators. As needed, these can be connected to the PLC and MES system by cables and controlled by the computer.

[0041] In some embodiments, a conveying device 900 is also included. The right ends of the first steering mechanism 110, the second steering mechanism 120, the third steering mechanism 130 and the fourth steering mechanism 140 are all provided with the conveying device 900, and the front end of the seventh steering mechanism 170 is provided with the conveying device 900. The conveying device 900 is used to receive or transport workpieces. The conveying device 900 serves to receive new scrap materials and put old scrap materials on the line, which facilitates the management of scrap materials. It can be understood that the conveying device 900 can also be a robot.

[0042] In some embodiments, the handling device 900 includes an AGV robot, which is understood to be a common intelligent handling robot.
