The human-machine interface 12 identifies and records the motor identity information. The PLC unit 11 controls 17 to adjust the heights of the left lifting mechanism 24 and the right lifting mechanism 25 to a height suitable for the motor node according to the identified motor model. The PLC unit 11 starts the hydraulic pump station, and slowly pushes the node out of the motor lug hole through the movement of the clamp blocks of the left clamp assembly 22 and the right clamp assembly 23.

The human-machine interface 12 identifies and records the motor identity information, and uses the wireless digital caliper 14 to measure the diameter of the motor lifting ear hole and send it to the human-machine interface 12, and then uses the wireless digital caliper 14 to measure the node outer diameter and send it to the human-machine interface 12. The human-machine interface 12 automatically calculates the interference between the node outer diameter and the inner diameter of the lifting ear. If the interference is not within the qualified range, the operator is prompted to re-select the node with a diameter range; put the selected node into the left fixture assembly 22 and the right fixture assembly of the fixture 23, the PLC unit 11 controls the servo drive mechanism 17 to adjust the height of the left lifting mechanism 24 and the right lifting mechanism 25 to a height suitable for the motor lifting ear hole, and the PLC unit 11 starts the hydraulic pump station 18 to push the left clamp assembly 22 and the right clamp assembly 23 to move the clamp pressure block to press the node into the motor lifting ear hole.
