The first mounting plate 52 will drive the second mounting plate 54 to move upward through the connecting rod 53, so that the robot arm 43 can grasp the CNC tool 57 on the tool storage plate 56 located below. Then the hydraulic rod 51 drives the second mounting plate 54 to move downward, so that the robot arm 43 can remove the CNC tool 57 from the tool storage plate 56 located below. The servo motor 55 can drive the tool storage plate 56 to rotate, so that the robot arm 43 can grasp the CNC tool 57 required by the tool.
