[0070] The second slide is used to drive the carrier 25 to move in the Y-axis direction.

[0071] See also Figure 1 There are two first telescopic cylinders 22 and they are symmetrically arranged on the base 21.

[0072] The two first telescopic cylinders 22 provide better support for the X-axis linear module 23 .

The fourth telescopic cylinder 61 is vertically fixed on the second slide and located between the two support rods 251, and the shaping plate 62 is horizontally fixed at the output end of the fourth telescopic cylinder 61.

[0076] By turning on the fourth telescopic cylinder 61 , the fourth telescopic cylinder 61 drives the shaping plate 62 to move upward and press the pins of the electronic component mounted on the PCB board, thereby achieving the shaping of the electronic component.

[0077] See also Figure 1 and Figure 7 A through hole fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 31 is provided in the middle of the loading tray 31, and several limiting holes 321 are provided at equal intervals along the circumferential direction of the loading tray 31 at the edge of the loading tray 31.

[0079] See also Figure 1 and Figure 8 The clamping end of the first clamping cylinder 42 is provided with a first buffer pad 421.

[0080] The first buffer pad 421 is provided to prevent the first clamping jaw cylinder 42 from clamping the electronic component with force and damaging it.
