Abstract: The traditional processing and inspection techniques for finished product samples mainly included turning, milling, planing, grinding and manual sample delivery. Traditional processing and inspection techniques could no longer meet the fast-paced production needs and improved their automation level was beneficial for improved the competitiveness of enterprises. The latest fully automated sample processing and inspection technology were introduced, which integrated various processes such as cutting, rough machining, precision machining, stretching and impact testing of sheets and round bars through robotic arms, automatic guidance devices and centralized control systems, achieved basic automation of the entire process. At the same time, the advantages of fully automated sample processing and inspection technology were analyzed, and future research focuses were prospected.
