After the current appearance inspection is completed, the servo motor 801 is started, and the rotating rod 802 rotates, moving the metal structural component for flipping adjustment. When the metal structural component is long, the first motor 301 is started, and the first lead screw 302 rotates, moving the moving frame 4 to adjust the position of the metal structural component. Alternatively, depending on the width of the metal structural component, to facilitate flipping, the second motor 601 can be started, causing the second lead screw 602 to adjust the height with the mounting part 7, making it easier to flip the metal structural component.
