The clamping robot 15 is connected to the second cylinder 33, which is used to drive the clamping robot 15 to clamp the terminal blank.
[0029] The robotic arm is connected to the robotic arm fixture via the robotic arm connector 31, which then drives the robotic arm fixture to pick up and place terminals. During loading, the terminal blank is placed on the loading template 9, and the terminal blank 21 is inserted into the unloading groove 14. The robotic arm is started, and the robotic arm fixture is moved to the corresponding position of the injection mold 32. The first cylinder 30 of the unloading device 10 is activated, driving the loading push block 23 to move outward along the loading push channel 22, pushing the terminal blank into the cavity on the injection mold 32. The injection molding machine performs injection molding processing on the terminal blank 21 to form injection molded terminals 17. During unloading, the robotic arm is started, and the robotic arm fixture is moved to the corresponding position of the injection mold 32.
