When the control system 1 identifies that there are defects in the welded joint of the small-diameter tube, the control system 1 controls the automatic marking system 10 to mark the base material near the welded joint of the small-diameter tube, and at the same time, the control system 1 controls the workpiece sorting system 9 to place the unqualified small-diameter tubes on different racks.

[0109] The above has specifically described the implementation manners of the present utility model. However, the present utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can also make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present utility model, and these equivalents or substitutions are all included within the scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
