Traditionally, the surface processing of the aluminum tube of the photosensitive drum often relies on manual operation, which not only increases the production cost, but also easily leads to problems such as inconsistent processing accuracy and low efficiency.

[0003] With the rapid development of industrial automation technology, more and more manufacturing companies are beginning to seek automation solutions to improve production efficiency and product quality. In the field of photosensitive drum aluminum tube surface processing, the emergence of automated cutting machines is a positive response to this demand.

In addition, the prior art also discloses an automatic loading and unloading device for surface processing of photosensitive drum aluminum tubes, but the processed photosensitive drum aluminum tubes are taken out by clamping, which causes wear on the outer surface of the photosensitive drum aluminum tube, making it difficult to meet the processing accuracy and surface quality requirements unique to photosensitive drum aluminum tubes.
