When the cable 10 passes through the number tube 9 and reaches the position of the photoelectric sensor 8, the photoelectric sensor 8 transmits a signal to the controller, and the controller executes the corresponding instructions. On the one hand, it transmits the instruction to the cable 10 feeding device to stop feeding, and on the other hand, it transmits the instruction to the cable 10 cutting device to cut the cable 10. Then the controller transmits the instruction to pneumatic finger cylinder 1 2 and pneumatic finger cylinder 2 3.

Through the multi-point clamping of several V-shaped supports 6, the clamping of the number tube 9 is more firm and reliable. In addition, the pneumatic finger cylinder 1 2 and the pneumatic finger cylinder 2 3 drive the claw 1 4 and the claw 2 5 to clamp the number tube 9, thereby improving the clamping accuracy and speed of the number tube 9. The clamping of the number tube 9 is more firm, reliable, convenient and fast.
