[0002] In modern manufacturing, particularly in fields such as electronic components, precision hardware, and medical devices, the demand for automated processing of micro-parts is increasing. These parts typically have the following characteristics: small size, complex structure, and high processing precision requirements.

[0003] Chinese patent CN210379726U discloses a terminal feeding and cutting device. This device uses a pressing cylinder to drive a continuous die to gradually bend the terminals, avoiding breakage caused by insufficient material toughness or excessive bending angle in a single operation. It also ensures that the bending angle is consistent within the same batch and guarantees smooth operation. However, this device is essentially a stand-alone machine. After bending, the terminals still need to be placed into a mold to form a complete product, requiring manual transfer between processes, resulting in low efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop an automated implantation, feeding, and sorting device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
