[0035] The first mechanical arm 21 is provided with a feeding mechanism 3 on the side away from the second mechanical arm 22. The feeding mechanism 3 can adopt a common conveying device on the market such as a roller conveying table or a conveying belt. The feeding mechanism 3 is used to convey the plate to a first feeding position, so that the first mechanical arm 21 can grab the plate and put it into the first bending machine 11 for the first time. After the plate is bent by the first bending machine 11 for the first time, the first mechanical arm 21 takes out the plate and places it on the transfer table 4.
