The continuous bending test is started to start the video monitoring controller. The angle of focus is adjusted in the controller. The debris is prevented from shielding the shooting of the main camera device 6 during the bending process. At this time, the second motor 23 is energized to start. The output end of the second motor 23 drives the transmission gear 27 to rotate.
