[0037] The conveyor track 2 transports the jig with the product to the right, and the grabbing robot 3 grabs the product from the jig and turns it over in the loading and unloading flipping mechanism 4. After turning over, it falls onto the disc mechanism 1 for etching, and then is grabbed by the loading and unloading flipping mechanism 4 and put back into the jig of the conveyor track 2 and taken away for glue dispensing on the glue dispensing mechanism 6.
