[0002] The industrial production of modern factories is inseparable from a variety of equipment and manufacturing technologies, especially flexible production. In flexible production, various production materials need to be transported and loaded for subsequent processing. However, the existing flexible material loading requires the flexible material to be placed in a designated position and wait for the clamping device to clamp and transport it. Moreover, each clamping can only clamp one type of flexible material, and it is impossible to effectively grasp and load materials with other different shapes. The adaptability is low and the loading efficiency is low. Utility Model Content
