[0025] Example: An automatic application device for server thermal paste, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it includes a support frame 1 and a material picking structure 2 disposed on the support frame, a material picking lifting drive cylinder 3, a pressure block 4, a downward lifting drive cylinder 5, and a vision inspection device 6.

[0027] The visual inspection device is mounted on the side of the support frame.

[0028] In this embodiment, the material handling structure 2 includes a material handling base 21 and multiple vacuum nozzles 22 installed on the material handling base.

[0030] In this embodiment, the pressing block is an inverted "L"-shaped block, and the distance D between the side of the "L"-shaped block and the material-taking seat is 0.03-0.05mm.
