The periphery is made of insulating material. Laser ranging radars are arranged at the front and rear of the trolley to control the forward position. After the transfer trolley runs to the discharging station, the telescopic prongs are inserted into the bottom of the axle. The V-shaped supporting blocks on the prongs are opposite to the axle above. The jacking device is driven by a servo cylinder. The internal jacking is scissors fork type. The prong platform can lift the axle upward. The axle is separated from the V-shaped supporting blocks on the conveying line. The prongs are retracted to carry the axle into the transfer trolley. The prong platform is lowered to the home position. The axle is sent to the next processing workshop by the automatic transfer trolley.

[0040] The automatic equipment operation data information of the intelligent production line is collected by the upper computer and uploaded to the remote master control platform. The data is used for digital platform display. Users can remotely monitor the axle machining information, machining process status and equipment operation.

[0041] Although embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it is to be understood that various modifications, substitutions, replacements and changes can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present application, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
