The part is installed on the universal seat 3, and an external air extraction device is started. The air extraction pipe of the air extraction device is connected to the air extraction port 6. The air extraction device extracts the air between the sealing gasket 4 and the part through the first through hole 7, the ventilation groove 8 and the second through hole 5 on the sealing gasket 4 inside the universal seat 3 to fix the part. The length and width of the fixed bottom plate 1 are processed according to the actual situation, and the number of electromagnetic seats 2 is also adjusted as needed.
[0020] As an embodiment of this utility model, a plurality of installation holes are provided on the fixed bottom plate 1. A plurality of fixed cylinders 12 are provided at the bottom of the fixed bottom plate 1 corresponding to the positions of the plurality of installation holes.

A limit block 15 is provided at the top of the lead screw 13, and the limit block 15 is rotatably arranged in the limit groove 14. A plurality of vertical bars 16 are provided at the bottom of the electromagnetic seat 2. A plurality of pairs of retaining bars 17 are provided on the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 12 and on both sides of each vertical bar 16. The lead screw 13 can drive the electromagnetic seat 2 to move vertically.
[0021] In this embodiment, when adjusting the height of the electromagnetic seat 2, a person turns the lead screw 13.

Secondly, install the parts on the multiple universal seats 3, and the gasket 4 seals the gap between the universal seat 3 and the parts. The personnel assist in adjusting the angle of the universal seat 3 so that the gasket 4 can fit on the surface of the parts. After adjustment, the electromagnetic seat 2 is powered on, and the electromagnetic seat 2 adsorbs the universal seat 3. The suction force of the electromagnetic seat 2 is stronger than that of permanent magnets such as magnets or magnetic rings, and the suction force of the electromagnetic seat 2 can be adjusted, which can effectively prevent the angle of the universal seat 3 from shifting during the processing of the parts. Since there is no air extraction component on the universal seat 3, the maximum adjustment angle of the universal seat 3 can be 45 degrees, which can effectively increase the rotation angle of the universal seat 3 and improve the applicable range.
