However, when feeding the shaft parts, after the regular polygonal shaft is clamped, it cannot be ensured whether the regular polygonal shaft is clamped tightly. If the regular polygonal shaft is not clamped tightly, the problem of inconvenience in feeding the regular polygonal shaft will appear in the subsequent feeding steps.
