1. A pick-and-place system, comprising:
a movement mechanism;
an adjustment mechanism, comprising:
a first coupling component, mounted on the movement mechanism;
a second coupling component, movably disposed on the first coupling component; and
a driving assembly, configured to be connected to the first coupling component and the second coupling component so as to force the first coupling component and the second coupling component to move relative to each other; and
a clamping mechanism, mounted on the second coupling component of the adjustment mechanism;
wherein the driving assembly comprises:
a shaft, rotatably disposed on the first coupling component;
a first pushing component, rotatable with the shaft and in contact with the first coupling component or the second coupling component for forcing the first coupling component and the second coupling component to move relative to each other; and
a rotation-driving component, connected to the shaft and configured to rotate the shaft relative to the first coupling component.
