The workbench 1 is supported by the support columns 9, and the workbench 1 is convenient for parts machining operations.

[0021] Further, such as Figure 3 As shown, the alignment component 7 includes an L-shaped limit frame 71 and a limit plate 72. The orientation of the part is adjusted by the L-shaped limit frame 71. An adjustment slot 73 is provided in the middle of the rear end of the L-shaped limit frame 71. A connecting block 74 is fixedly connected to the middle of the rear end of the limit plate 72. A threaded rod 75 is movably connected to the middle of the connecting block 74. Two adjusting nuts 76 are movably connected to the outer surface of the threaded rod 75. The end of the threaded rod 75 away from the connecting block 74 is fixedly connected to a fixed block 77. The stability of the threaded rod 75 is ensured by the fixed block 77.

[0022] When the locking cam 75 is in the unlocked position, the locking cam 78 is locked, and the locking cam 78 is locked in the unlocked position, so that the master can lock the master in the unlocked position.

[0023] Further, such as Figure 4 As shown, the clamp assembly 8 includes a motor 81, and the output end of the motor 81 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 82, and the motor 81 enables the connecting rod 82 to drive the clamp assembly 8 to rotate and adjust the angle. The lower part of the outer surface of the connecting rod 82 is fixedly connected to a fixing ring 83, and the left and right sides of the outer surface of the fixing ring 83 are fixedly connected to elastic clamping plates 84, and the fixing ring 83 ensures the stability and firmness of the elastic clamping plates 84 during the clamping process. The elastic clamping plates 84 are set to be arc-shaped, and a two-way telescopic hydraulic cylinder 85 is fixedly connected between the two elastic clamping plates 84. The end of the elastic clamping plate 84 away from the fixing ring 83 is fixedly connected to a clamping block 86. The two clamping blocks 86 are located on the top surface of the second conveyor 6. The parts in the inner cavity of the L-shaped limit frame 71 are moved between the two clamping blocks 86 through the second conveyor 6.
