During this process, the turbine seat provided by the display bracket 9 controls the motor 31 to stop intermittently after rotation. Subsequently, the feeding hole 75 of the screw disk 7 stops between the signal transmitter 41 and the signal receiver 42. At this time, the signal transmitter 41 and the signal receiver 42 detect the workpiece in the feeding hole 75. At this point, the feeding hole 75 is in the feeding position. If a workpiece is present, a material presence signal is sent to the controller. After the workpiece is removed from the feeding hole 75, the controller controls the motor 31 to operate, and the operation is as described above. If there is no workpiece, the controller controls the transmission mechanism 3 to continue operating, and the operation is also as described above.
