[0002] In industrial production, the inspection of ring-shaped workpieces is a crucial step in ensuring product quality. Traditional production equipment often suffers from poor coordination between multiple processes, particularly when multiple operational steps are involved. Manual intervention and low operational efficiency severely impact the continuity and overall efficiency of the production line. Each process is typically performed independently, lacking effective automated collaboration mechanisms.
