The rack 421 is arranged on the vertical moving platform 412, and the plurality of branch chains 423 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the rack 421. The branch chains 423 are three, five, or six. Each branch chain 423 includes a hollow motor 4231 and a ball screw 4232. The hollow motor 4231 is in transmission connection with the ball screw 4232. The hollow motor 4231 is connected to the rack 421 through a first hinge 424. One end of the ball screw 4232 is connected to the machining device 422 through a second hinge 425.
