Due to possible accumulated errors, the accuracy of the storage device can be calibrated by the photosensor at each operation time. The sensor is used because the stepper motor will bring accumulated error in the using process after using the device for many times. The angle calculated by the control panel in the control cabinet is a determined value, for example, 30 degrees of rotation. Because the angle calculated by the control board and the actual rotating angle of the motor may have some errors, the position can be initialized through the photoelectric sensor 14, the accumulated error is reduced, and the accumulated error is reduced to be close to the initial value, so that the equipment can operate in an environment with smaller error, and the movement precision of the device is improved.
