The distance sensor 222 monitors the distance between the grinding head 3111 and the plastic part in real time to ensure the accuracy and safety of the grinding process. Once the dewatering is completed, the operation of the drive motor 32 and the lifting cylinder 21 is stopped, and the plastic part with the dewatering is removed for quality inspection. After the processing is completed, the grinding head 3111 and the transmission rod 311 are cleaned to ensure that there are no residual plastic fragments.
