ABSTRACT:
A method for centering the wheels of a two wheel set with the centerline extending between the dead centers of a machining-, measuring-, or testing-apparatus, in which each wheel of the set is lifted by a separate lifting device and in which the position of each wheel during its lifting is sensed by a separate sensing device, coordinated with the respective lifting device, to stop further lifting movement of the respective lifting device when the center of the respective wheel coincides with the centerline of the apparatus, to thus properly align the centers of the wheels of the two wheel sets with the centerline of the apparatus regardless of any difference of the diameters of the two wheels or any asymmetrical loading on the axle of the wheel set; and an apparatus for carrying out the method.
