During the rotation of the active chuck, the welding gun continues to weld the weld. After the active chuck rotates one circle, the circumferential welding process is completed, the rotating motor stops working, the second cylinder and the third cylinder reverse drive to reset the welding gun, release the active chuck and the driven chuck, remove the parts from the active chuck and the driven chuck, and the first cylinder reverse drives to reset the driven chuck.
