[0002] Printed circuit board (PCB) unloading machines are a conveying and placement mechanism used in the electronics manufacturing industry. They typically use a conveyor belt for lateral transport or work in conjunction with a robotic arm as the transmission structure to facilitate the unloading of PCBs.

[0003] Currently, printed circuit boards are placed in a fixed position, and then a robotic arm is equipped with a suction cup and multiple sets of axial rotation mechanisms. This allows the suction cup to pick up the circuit board and rotate to adjust the angle, placing the printed circuit board in the processing position or on a conveyor belt for transport, thus playing the role of placing the board. However, the cost of the multiple axial power mechanisms of the robotic arm is relatively high, and the process of the robotic arm picking up or clamping the printed circuit board for placement is quite cumbersome.
