The invention relates to a centering device (1) for flat workpieces, particularly for plates made of sheet metal to be processed in a press, comprising a first table (100.1) rotatable about a first vertical axis (90) for accommodating the workpiece and a second table (100.2) rotatable about a second vertical axis (90) for accommodating the workpiece. The second table (100.2) is located to the side of the first table (100.1) and a supporting plane of the first table (100.1) substantially coincides with a supporting plane of the second table (100.2). The device further comprises a rotating mechanism (45, 46, 50, 61) mechanically coupled to the first table (100.1) and the second table (100.2) such that the first and the second table (100.1, 100.2) can rotate together about a third vertical axis (50). If both tables (100.1, 100.2) are rotated together about the third vertical axis (50), then the tables (100.1, 100.2) form a common supporting surface. In the other operating mode, the tables are rotated separately about the mutually spaced vertical axes (90); the tables and their supporting surfaces thus move relative to one another. Using the device according to the invention, both a single workpiece that can take up the entire width of the centering device (1), and two workpieces of lesser width simultaneously, can be correctly oriented for subsequent processing.

Dispositif de centrage (1) pour des pièces à usiner planes, en particulier pour des flans en tôle à usiner dans une presse, qui comprend une première table (100.1) pouvant tourner autour d'un premier axe vertical (90), destinée à recevoir les pièces à usiner et une seconde table (100.2) pouvant tourner autour d'un deuxième axe vertical (90), destinée à recevoir les pièces à usiner. La seconde table (100.2) est disposée latéralement à côté de la première table (100.1), et un plan de support de la première table (100.1) concorde sensiblement avec un plan de support de la seconde table (100.2). Le dispositif comprend en outre un mécanisme rotatif (45, 46, 50, 61), couplé mécaniquement à la première table (100.1) et à la seconde table (100.2), de manière à ce que la première et la seconde table (100.1, 100.2) puissent tourner ensemble autour d'un troisième axe vertical (50). Lorsque les deux tables (100.1, 100.2) tournent ensemble autour du troisième axe vertical (50), les tables (100.1, 100.2) forment une surface de support commune. Dans un autre mode de fonctionnement, les tables sont amenées à tourner individuellement autour des axes de rotation verticaux (90) espacés; les tables et leurs surfaces de support se déplacent ainsi l'une par rapport à l'autre. Le dispositif selon l'invention permet donc d'orienter correctement pour l'usinage subséquent, sans avoir à procéder à des modifications, tant une pièce à usiner unique, pouvant solliciter toute la largeur du dispositif de centrage (1), que deux pièces à usiner moins larges simultanément.
