Abstract
Provided are a panel adsorption device and an automatic adsorption method using the same. A position of a liquid crystal panel on a platform is determined by providing a plurality of image capture devices above the platform, and then correspondingly sets the vacuum adsorption hole to a negative pressure state to firmly locate the liquid crystal panel on the platform. Meanwhile, the platform can be compatible with panels of various models and sizes.
