By limiting and controlling the axis of the wafer, the wafer is positioned at the specified position, improving the accuracy of the subsequent cutting process. The distance between the horizontal section of the locking plate and the placement circular plate is the thickness of the wafer, so the horizontal section of the locking plate and the placement circular plate cooperate with each other to limit and clamp the wafer in the up-down direction, improving the stability during the subsequent positioning and cutting process.
