Abstract
A workpart chuck centering mechanism moves towards the axis of rotation of the chuck as the chuck rotates in an eccentric non-centered position. The centering mechanism includes two independent shoes. Each shoe is driven by a servo-motor and encoder. The two shoes function in a cooperative manner to center the workpart. A sensing device monitors any eccentric movement of the workpart and controls the positioning of the shoes. The two shoes and the sensing device are mounted on a base which can pivot about the chuck axis. The directions of movement of the respective shoes are displaced 90.degree. relative to one another and intersect at the chuck axis.
