Abstract
An apparatus for loading a disk-like workpiece into a chuck mounted on a spindle head and rotated about a horizontal axis. A swing arm is supported by a housing to be rotatable about an axis which is substantially parallel to the rotational axis of the chuck. Drive means swings the swing arm between a workpiece pick-up position and a workpiece delivery position. Workpiece support means is supported on the swing arm to be rotatable about an axis which is perpendicular to the axis of swinging movement of the swing arm for supporting a disk-like workpiece thereon, and is held within a substantially horizontal plane when the swing arm is at its pick-up position. Rotary means is operated by the drive means for rotating the workpiece support means a predetermined angle during a part of the swinging movement of the swing arm so as to align the workpiece held on the support means with the chuck when the swing arm is swung into its delivery position.
