When the workpiece table passes, the baffle on the non-return assembly is pressed down. After the workpiece table passes, the pressure plate on the non-return assembly returns to its original position due to the lack of gravity. When the workpiece table suddenly retreats, the block on the non-return assembly will block the workpiece table to prevent the workpiece table from suddenly retreating and reverse transportation. Four rubber baffles on the workpiece table can well protect The workpiece will not be damaged due to the shock force. This not only ensures the smooth transportation of the workpiece and protects the integrity of the workpiece, but also greatly prolongs the service life of the mechanism, reduces the probability of maintenance, reduces labor intensity, and thus greatly improves production efficiency.
