The lathe 1 is used to roughly position the parts 9 according to the process holes and to turn the parts 9 to be processed. After the turning is completed, the scaffolding robot can pick up the parts 9 turned by the lathe 1 and transfer them to the receiving slide 2.
[0039] Optionally, the receiving slide 2 is located near the lathe 1, so that the rigging robot can pick up the part 9 on the lathe 1 and transfer it to the receiving slide 2 with a small range of movement, thereby improving production efficiency.
[0040] Furthermore, a flipping device 3 is provided downstream of the receiving slide 2. The receiving slide 2 is used to transport the part 9 after it has been turned by the lathe 1 to the flipping device 3. The flipping device 3 is used to flip the part 9.
[0041] Specifically, the turnover device 3 is provided with a feeding slide table 4 at the adjacent position, the feeding slide table 4 is a long strip-shaped slide table, one end of the feeding slide table 4 is arranged close to the turnover device 3 and is used for conveying the turned-over part 9. The clamping hand on the turnover device 3 can grab the part 9 on the receiving slide table 2 and place it on the feeding slide table 4 after being turned over by 180°, and then the feeding slide table 4 sends the part 9 to the working range of the six-axis robot 5. The turnover device 3 is arranged to make the part 9 be turned over to an angle convenient for the six-axis robot 5 to grab, and at the same time, the working time of the subsequent machining center 6 can be reduced, and the production efficiency is improved.

A second rotating cylinder is arranged in the machining center 6, and an output end of the second rotating cylinder is connected to the second rotating shaft 613 through a screw. The second rotating shaft 613 is connected to the first rotating cylinder through a screw, so that the second rotating cylinder can drive the clamp 610 connected to the first rotating cylinder to rotate around the axis of the second rotating shaft 613.
