[0049] In one embodiment of the present invention, the copper foil continuously moves from the unwinding roller 12 to the winding roller 14. During the movement, the laser measuring device 4 measures the warpage of the copper foil being transported. If the data of the copper foil being transported does not match that of the stationary copper foil, the copper foil on the support platform 2 is cut by pressing down on the cutting assembly. During the pressing down of the annular cutter 66, the control box 7 controls the first motor 11 and the second motor 15 to stop rotating, so that the copper foil is stationary on the support platform 2. During the cutting process, the annular cutter 66 passes through the clearance groove 34 and enters the cutting groove 35 to achieve partial cutting of the copper foil.

[0053] In one embodiment of the present invention, after the annular cutter 66 extends into the cutter groove 35, the second electric push rod 31 will simultaneously drive the detection stage 32 to descend, so as to prevent the annular cutter 66 from squeezing the copper foil and damaging its original state.
[0054] In one embodiment of the present invention, under normal conditions, the annular cutter 66 is positioned at its highest position, and the connecting rod 61 in the movable groove is positioned at the top of the movable groove; at this time, the elastic reset member 8 is in a non-stretched state; the elastic rope 53 is in a taut state; when the annular cutter 66 needs to be pressed down, the first electric push rod 5 is pulled back, driving the connecting chain to rise and extend from the turning groove 62; at this time, the limiting post 57 is driven to rotate along the arc groove 59, and the second hinge rod 56 is stretched, the angle of the limiting groove in the second hinge rod 56 changes, driving the connecting rod 61 to move downward; the second hinge rod 56 drives the first hinge rod 55 to move through the tension of the hinge shaft and the elastic reset member 8. During this process, the elastic rope 53 is first stretched and then retracted, realizing the tension and engagement of the elastic reset member 8, and finally realizing the pressing down of the annular cutter 66.
