After 18, before the stamped part 99 is lifted, the moving cylinder 35 pushes the flipping bracket assembly 1 out to the position to be picked up by the robotic arm. At this time, the buffer 112 reaches the limit block 32. When the two are in contact, the buffer 112 provides a buffering force to ensure the stability of the stamped part 99 on the positioning block 18. After the stamped part 99 is grasped by the robotic arm, the piston rod of the moving cylinder 35 retracts, and the flipping bracket assembly 1 returns to the initial position to prepare for the next flipping process. The combination of the two sliders 114 and the two slide rails 33 enables the flipping bracket assembly 1 to move smoothly.

[0027] like Figure 8 As shown, the flipping device also includes a solenoid valve assembly 4 disposed on the moving cylinder connecting plate 34 for providing an air source.
