[0034] Currently, in the production and transportation of integrated sputtering targets, given their large size and weight, the industry commonly uses forklifts and other general material handling equipment for material transfer. However, this traditional handling method has significant drawbacks: forklift operation requires ample passage space, resulting in low space utilization in production workshops or storage areas, increasing the difficulty and cost of production workshop space planning; the compatibility between forklift clamps and integrated sputtering targets is poor, requiring manual assistance for positioning, frequently leading to sputtering target collisions and damage or insufficient handling stability; and the turnover between multiple processes requires repeated adjustments to the forklift operating angle, making the handling process cumbersome and time-consuming, and failing to meet the high-efficiency collaborative needs of automated production lines.
