A workpiece positioning device for a processing center, and a processing center and a method for positioning a workpiece mounted on a workpiece palette in a processing center is disclosed. The workpiece positioning device comprises a deposit place comprising a horizontal deposit surface for a workpiece palette with a workpiece mounted thereon and a pivot bearing that receives the workpiece palette on a first edge of said workpiece palette in a rotatable manner. Furthermore, the workpiece positioning device comprises a pivoting device for transferring the workpiece palette from a horizontal position into a vertical position, and vice versa. The pivoting device comprises a horizontal and a vertical linear axle and a gripping device and is disposed to grip a workpiece palette on another, second edge and to pivot, by simultaneously moving the horizontal and the vertical linear axles, the workpiece palette around the pivot bearing on a circular path.
A workpiece positioning device for a processing center (1), in particular a horizontal processing center, wherein workpieces (12) mounted on a workpiece palette are processed in the processing center (1), with a deposit place (17) that comprises a horizontal deposit surface (18) for a workpiece palette (19), and a pivot bearing (44) that is disposed to take up the workpiece palette (19) on a first edge (41) thereof in a rotatable manner, and with a pivoting device (53) for transferring a workpiece palette (19) from a horizontal position into a vertical position and vice versa, wherein the pivoting device (53) is disposed to grip a workpiece palette (19) on another, second edge (42) and, by simultaneously moving a horizontal and a vertical linear axle (23, 24), to pivot the second edge (42) of the workpiece palette (19) on a circular path (52) around the pivot bearing (44).
