The X-axis moving assembly 2 and the Z-axis moving assembly 3 are both existing technologies and commonly used components, and their structures will not be described in detail here.

[0026] A rotary shaft assembly 4 is installed at the end of the moving part of the Z-axis moving assembly 3, and the gripper assembly 5 is connected to the rotary shaft assembly 4.

[0027] The X-axis moving assembly 2 and the Z-axis moving assembly 3 are used to feed the wheel hub to the suspension conveyor line, and the rotating shaft assembly 4 and the gripper assembly 5 are respectively used to grab the wheel hub and place it on the hook fed by the suspension conveyor line.

[0028] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The rotating shaft assembly 4 includes a bracket 4.1, which is mounted on the end of the moving part of the Z-axis moving assembly 3.
