Especially in areas such as precision in-mold injection molding, automated assembly, and robotics, the demand for precise rotational and variable-distance positioning of objects is increasing.
[0003] Traditional positioning devices typically consist of fixed or simple mechanical structures, often employing a single rotational or linear movement method. However, when handling complex or variable positioning tasks, such as in precision in-mold injection molding, automated loading devices need to precisely control the rotation angle and distance of the object to adapt to the requirements of different molds.
