The camera tracks a single shaft through an unattended shift. It begins on a rack of blanks, where a gantry loader lifts the part, seats it between powered centers, and pulls away while the touch screen calls up that part's recipe. From there the measuring carriage indexes, the press head corrects each flagged bend, and the finished shaft is set on the outfeed rack — or diverted if it fails tolerance.
Because nobody lifts, gauges or repositions the part, staffing falls sharply: one attendant can oversee 1–2 CNC machines, or walk several fully automatic lines on a single route. The conveyor, gantry and reject lane do the physical work while the operator audits logs and restocks racks. For teams weighing this against simpler equipment, our note on hydraulic, CNC and fully automatic configurations breaks down the trade-offs.
Plants cutting motor shafts, gearbox output shafts, EV drive shafts and long hydraulic rods use this layout to feed heat-treated parts straight into the next operation, with the loader and probe count sized to the part family rather than bought off the shelf. Cell layout, guarding and outfeed sorting are all part of the proposal. See the automatic straightening line-up for standard configurations.
