Abstract: A workpiece positioner assembly including a headstock apparatus having a motor and a headstock swing arm rotatably supported on the headstock apparatus. The headstock swing arm is configured to be rotated by the motor. The assembly includes a tailstock apparatus and a tailstock swing arm rotatably supported on the tailstock apparatus. The tailstock swing arm and the headstock swing arm are configured to support a workpiece. The assembly also includes a beam coupled to the headstock swing arm and to the tailstock swing arm to transmit rotation of the headstock swing arm to the tailstock swing arm, and a compliance assembly. The compliance assembly is provided between at least one of the headstock swing arm and the beam to enable relative movement between the headstock swing arm and the beam, and the tailstock swing arm and the beam to enable relative movement between the tailstock swing arm and the beam.
