At the same time, the position of the suction cup 11 can also be accurately limited. Then, according to the width of the narrow strip as needed, the corresponding suction cup 11 can be adjusted and selected, thereby improving the adsorption effect of the narrow strip. Through the setting of the pressure spring 15, when using the connection When the tube 10 and the suction cup 11 adsorb the narrow strip, the elastic effect of the pressure spring 15 can play a buffering and regulating role, thereby avoiding the situation where the suction cup 11 or the narrow strip is damaged due to external force impact during adsorption. The laser emitter 7 and the laser trigger 9 obtain the suction cup 11 data of the output position at the bottom of the fixed ring 2, and after limiting the position of the suction cup 11, the first electric telescopic cylinder 17 is controlled to push the air pump 18 to move downward, thereby moving the bottom of the outer wall of the air pump 18 to the placement groove 22, and then through the setting of the first annular sealing ring 19 and the second annular sealing ring 24, the gas is prevented from leaking during the transmission process, thereby improving the efficiency and stability of gas transmission. The setting of the connecting air pipe 25 and the hose 26 can not only stably deliver the gas to the suction cup 11, but also will not affect the buffer adjustment function of the suction cup 11. The setting of the mounting base 1, the threaded rod 27 and the limiting block 28 is conducive to improving the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the fixed ring 2. The height of the connecting block 3 and the mounting base 1 can be adjusted by the second electric telescopic cylinder 29. The second servo motor 36 drives the driving shaft 35 and the second driving gear 34 to rotate, and then the second driven gear 33 can be adjusted to rotate. The rotation of the second driven gear 33 can adjust the angle of the connecting block 3 and the mounting base 1, and then when the suction cup 11 is used to absorb the narrow strip, it can be used to adjust the curvature of the narrow strip. The pneumatic suction cup 11 is adsorbed, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of the adsorption. The arrangement of the handle 38, the control button 40 and the cable connection port 41 is conducive to improving the flexibility of use of the pneumatic suction cup 11. The third servo motor 42 drives the third driving gear 43 to rotate. The rotation of the third driving gear 43 can drive the rack 44 to move in the first slide groove 45, thereby adjusting the position of the third electric telescopic cylinder 48. The arrangement of the second slide groove 47 and the limit block 46 is conducive to ensuring the movement stability of the third electric telescopic cylinder 48. At the same time, the third electric telescopic cylinder 48 can adjust the position of the mounting base 1 and the suction cup 11, thereby improving the adsorption stability when adsorbing a long narrow strip.
