Abstract

[0002] In the automated chip manufacturing process, positioning and marking (also known as dotting) of workpieces are common operations. Automated pallet transport devices are used to transport workpieces to positioning and marking stations.
[0003] Existing automatic pallet transport devices typically use motors or cylinders to directly control the pallet's travel. However, this method of directly controlling the pallet's travel by motors or cylinders has the following drawbacks: the pallet travel is relatively short and the equipment space utilization rate is low. When a large number of workpieces need to be transported, wide pallets are required, but when motors or cylinders directly control the movement of wide pallets, poor stability is likely to occur.
