PURPOSE: To automatize the bending work of the stick type material and to improve the working efficiency by providing the means which transfers the stick type material to the bending part, the detecting means to detect whether the stick type material on the transferring means is in the proper state or not and the position shifting means to correct it to the proper state.

CONSTITUTION: The needle material 1 of the stick type material which is fed from the needle material feeding means 22, 23 is fed to the needle material transferring means 8 which is formed to the groove body of V-letter type cross-section. On this time, the needle material has the mark on its proper surface and the magnifying glass type confirming means 17 detects whether the mark of the needle material 1 is positioned on the transferring means 8 or not, and detects the position of the tip of the needle material sharp part. And then, when the mark is not detected, the needle material 1 on the transferring means 8 is pushed up along the slope of the V-letter type groove of the transferring means 8 with the operation of the rotating means 8 and is rotated again on this slope so as to make the surface mark appear. If the marked surface does not appear is the rotating frequency, the needle material is removed. When the marked surface appeares, the needle material 1 on the transferring means 8 is inserted to the bending part 32 and worked with bending.
