This paper presents an efficient method in automatic measuring of shaft straightness and correcting shafts. During the rotation of a shaft, contact measuring pins touch the shaft to measure runout, and the angle of runout is detected by an encoder. For the correction of runout, a simple rule is developed. The control of correction is achived by the pressing stroke, not by the pressing force. The developed system is to correct runout within the allowable tolerance.
