Description of a machining cell comprising an end facing and centring machine, a CNC lathe and a spline hobbing machine, for the production of ramshaft components for tractor power lift arms controlling vertical motion for farming implements. An input conveyor supplies sawn steel blanks to the end facing and centring machine through which they continue to a collecting point. A 3 axis robot is used to transfer components from the collecting point to the CNC lathe, the spline hobbing machine and an output conveyor. In the CNC lathe components are completely turned in one operation. A simple gauging system is incorporated on the lathe pre-load cradle for protection of the spline hob. The conveyors, robot and machines can be quickly altered to suit different components. (Peters)
