The empty disc area 102 and the carrier disc area 101 are both provided with a lifting device 108 for driving the material discs to move vertically;

the traverse motion assembly 104 is provided with a first suction cup assembly 105 and a second suction cup assembly 106 which move relatively along the traverse motion assembly, and the first suction cup assembly 105 sucks materials in the trays of the tray area 101 to move to the conveying device 103; in one possible embodiment, the traverse assembly 104 is provided with a slide rail 1042, the first suction cup assembly 105 and the second suction cup assembly 106 move laterally along the slide rail 1042, and the second suction cup assembly 106 sucks the material tray of the carrier region 101 to be cleaned and moves the material tray to the empty region 102. It will be appreciated that the first and second chuck assemblies are independent and both can be moved laterally along the traverse assembly, i.e. the first chuck assembly and the second chuck assembly can be operated simultaneously at the same time. Further, an NG site (scrap) is provided in the conveyor 103 to transfer the scrap.

Optionally, the traversing assembly is fixed to the frame, and includes a fixing plate 1041, a slide rail 1042 is disposed on a surface of the fixing plate 1041, a driving device 1043 is disposed on one side of the fixing plate 1041, and the first chuck assembly 105 and the second chuck assembly 106 are respectively connected to the slide rail 1042 and the driving device 1043. The length of the traverse motion assembly 104 does not exceed the edge of the empty disc area 102 and the edge of the conveying device 103, and furthermore, limit blocks are arranged at two ends of the traverse motion assembly 104 to prevent the stroke of the first sucker assembly and the stroke of the second sucker assembly from exceeding the traverse motion assembly 104.
