The motor 340 of the longitudinal moving robot 300 drives the linear module 320 through the coupling 330, causing the lifting cylinder 350 to move the gripper body 380 horizontally to the hole clearing support 160. The lifting cylinder 350 drives the gripper body 380 to descend, thus gripping the workpiece and moving it to the straightening position for straightening. After straightening, qualified workpieces are moved to the qualified storage mechanism 400 by the longitudinal moving robot 300. The swing cylinder 360 drives the gripper fixing plate 370 to rotate the gripper body 380 horizontally, thus rotating the workpiece horizontally and placing it into the qualified storage mechanism 400, completing the unloading process of qualified workpieces. Unqualified workpieces are directly moved to the rejection storage mechanism 500 by the longitudinal moving robot 300, completing the unloading process of unqualified workpieces.
