[0058] Statistical table description

[0059] 1. Data-supported technical effects: Through data such as the silo capacity, refilling time, and automation devices (such as servo drive, vacuum adsorption, and pneumatic systems) of each mechanism, the advantages of the stacking machine over manual operation in terms of efficiency (such as a 20-minute refill interval for 480 core plates), precision (servo-controlled pressing height), and continuity (grating device linkage) are intuitively demonstrated.

[0060] 2. Structural synergy: The statistical table clearly shows the functional connection between the stacking machine mechanism, pre-assembly table mechanism, and riveting press mechanism. For example, the conveyor belt device transfers the stacked sheets to the pre-assembly table, and after manual integration, the riveting press is triggered by the grating device, verifying the technical effect of "high operating efficiency".
