Abstract

A workpiece-separating device includes a rotating assembly, a moving assembly, and a driver. The rotating assembly includes a limiting board and a rotating shaft, wherein the limiting board defines a through groove, and the rotating shaft defines a plurality of grooves. A distance between two adjacent grooves changes along a circumferential direction of the rotating shaft. The moving assembly includes a number of first moving blocks for mounting workpieces. Each first moving block is slidably mounted in the through groove and a corresponding groove. The driver drives the rotating shaft to rotate, allowing the first moving blocks to move along the grooves and the through groove to separate the workpieces.
