At this time, the clamping arm 27 is not released and is still in a clamped state, which facilitates the operator's spot welding work. If the clamping arm 27 is released and the parts are placed on the workbench 34, the operator still needs to manually support the workpiece, and the clamping arm 27 has to perform the clamping action twice, thereby reducing the work efficiency of this spot welding link; compared with previous workpiece spot welding processing operations, the clamping device cooperates with the assembly line operation, and the processing cost is significantly reduced. In the past, the spot welding operation of parts required the parts to be welded to be welded in advance and then placed on the assembly line for subsequent processing, which resulted in multiple operators carrying, welding, turnover, storage, dust protection and other tasks for the parts that had not been spot welded. The labor intensity of the operators was high and the production and processing costs were high. In the existing automated clamping device, the operator stepped on the foot pedal switch, which was an existing product on the market. The operator controlled the pallet 11 on the assembly line frame 1 to pause the sliding function, and then controlled the clamping arm 27 through another foot pedal switch to clamp the workpiece and rotate it 180 degrees to the workbench 34. The operator quickly spot welded the semi-finished workpiece.

After the spot welding of the workpiece is completed; the operator releases the foot pedal switch, and the rotary table 24 drives the workpiece to rotate 180 degrees counterclockwise and rotates the workpiece back to the pallet 11. At this time, the foot pedal switch controlling the rotation completes a round of action, and the operator steps on the foot pedal switch controlling the clamping mechanism again to release the workpiece. At this time, the operator steps on the foot pedal switch controlling the pallet 11 to release the pause function of the pallet 11 on the assembly line frame body 1, so that the workpiece on the pallet 11 flows to the next processing link. In this embodiment, there are three foot pedal switches, one for controlling the pause and movement of the support plate 11, one for controlling the clamping device; and the other for controlling the rotating table.
