During the cutting process, the vibration of the movable workbench 5 during use will be transmitted to the arc hollow plate 10 by the linkage rod 15, and then the elastic rod 12 will be linked to perform synchronous damping buffering, so as to fully ensure the stability of the movable workbench 5 supporting the tubular workpiece 23; Step 5: After the vertical cutting of the tubular workpiece 23 is completed, the four-axis transmission device 6 can be started, and the four-axis transmission device 6 drives the tubular workpiece 23, the movable worktable 5 and the internal associated structure of the movable worktable 5 to perform synchronous rotation adjustment until the surface to be processed of the tubular workpiece 23 is rotated and adjusted to a suitable position, and then the fourth step is repeated to achieve the purpose of continuing the cutting process; Step 6: After the processing of multiple positions of the tubular workpiece 23 is completed, the top pressure cylinder 81 is closed, and the output end of the top pressure cylinder 81 drives the inclined top pressure block 82 to move down and reset. At the same time, the T-bar 91 and the clamping arc plate 92 are reset under the reset elastic force of the first reset spring 93; The two electric push rods 22 are started synchronously, and the output ends of the two electric push rods 22 synchronously drive the auxiliary baffle plate 21 to move upward to make way, so that the material changing slot is completely out of place. Then, the material changing robot 17 is activated, and the material changing robot 17 moves the clamping assembly 18 through the material changing slot to the outside of the processed tubular workpiece 23. After completion, the clamping cylinder inside the clamping assembly 18 is started, and the clamping cylinder drives the two clamping blocks to automatically clamp the processed tubular workpiece 23. Subsequently, the material changing robot 17 continues to move the clamping assembly 18 and the tubular workpiece 23 clamped by the clamping assembly 18, and automatically places the tubular workpiece 23 in the placement hole in the built-in material plate 20 at the bottom of the material rack 19 through the material changing slot; The two electric push rods 22 are closed synchronously, and the output ends of the two electric push rods 22 synchronously drive the auxiliary baffle 21 to move down and reset, and the material exchange trough is closed again; Step 7: Start the four-axis transmission device 6, and the four-axis transmission device 6 drives the tubular workpiece 23, the movable worktable 5 and the internal associated structure of the movable worktable 5 to rotate synchronously by ninety degrees, so that the empty workpiece hole 24 will be aligned with the protective filter 16 on the top of the arc-shaped hollow plate 10, and then, use the air valve pipe 13 to guide the compressed air to the inside of the arc-shaped hollow plate 10 and blow and clean the workpiece hole 24, the movable worktable 5 and the supporting hollow plate 11 through the air outlet and the branch pipe 14 respectively, to ensure the reliability of the subsequent continuous use of the movable worktable 5 and the workpiece hole 24 and avoid the accumulation of waste chips on the surface of the supporting hollow plate 11. After completion, the four-axis transmission device 6 is used to reset the transmission tubular workpiece 23, the movable worktable 5 and the internal associated structure of the movable worktable 5 to the initial position, and then repeat the first to seventh steps.
