This footage lingers on the two conveyors. Blanks ride the infeed channel into the press, are rolled into the supports, and leave on the outfeed — with one lane for accepted shafts and a chute for the occasional reject. The pressing itself is visible too: head down on the marked high spot, release, probe re-check, then the part indexes out and the next one rolls in.
The accept/reject decision is not an estimate. After correction the probe reads the same stations it read at the start, compares against target — tight enough for ≤0.02 mm precision work, with 0.02–0.05 mm the usual automotive band — and only then routes the part. Failed pieces are corrected again within a set number of strokes before diversion. Each stage of that logic appears in the measure-press-recheck overview.
Because part transfer is the tiring, injury-prone part of straightening, automating it tends to be where payback starts; an attendant can mind 1–2 CNC machines instead of feeding one all shift. Suitable work runs from small motor shafts to long cylinder rods across many industries. Standard automatic layouts and loading styles are collected on the automatic straightening machines page.
