[0096] Before grinding, the workpiece to be grinded is first fixed on the fixture mounting platform by a fixture, and the depth vision sensor obtains the information of the workpiece to be grinded. The industrial computer drives the X-axis drive mechanism, the Y-axis drive mechanism and the Z-axis lifting mechanism to adjust the position of the terminal continuum mechanism so that the terminal continuum mechanism is aligned with the pipe mouth of the workpiece to be grinded, thereby realizing the initial positioning of the terminal continuum mechanism; then the swing control mechanism is controlled to fine-tune the position of the terminal continuum mechanism in the horizontal direction to ensure that the front end of the terminal continuum mechanism coincides with the center line of the pipe mouth of the workpiece to be grinded as much as possible; then the X-axis drive mechanism drives the terminal continuum mechanism to move into the pipe mouth, and the depth vision sensor transmits the information of the workpiece to be grinded to the industrial computer.

At this time, the industrial computer controls the rotating shaft motor and the grinding head motor in the grinding device to work and starts grinding the current section. After the grinding of the current section is completed, the X-axis drive motor is controlled to move so that the end continuum enters the next section of the workpiece to be ground for grinding until all sections are ground.
