A placement platform 7 is slidably connected to the upper end of the support platform 6. A linear guide rail 8 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the center position of the support platform 6. A movable guide block 9 is slidably connected to the linear guide rail 8. The upper end of the movable guide block 9 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the center position of the placement platform 7. The linear guide rail 8 is set perpendicular to the electric slide rail 5. The linear guide rail 8, together with the movable guide block 9, adjusts the horizontal position of the placement platform 7, so as to quickly adjust the milling position of the half-shaft workpiece body 15 according to actual needs. A PLC controller 10 is fixedly installed on the front side wall of the support platform 6. The drive motor 2, the electric slide rail 5 and the linear guide rail 8 are all electrically connected to the PLC controller 10.
