ABSTRACT:
The apparatus is one by which blanks are changed automatically in a hobbing machine of the general type comprising at least one tool head capable of movement along horizontal and vertical axes and consisting essentially in a horizontal spindle and a coaxial outer bearing that can be moved toward and away from one another, between which a tool is supported and set in rotation; in the apparatus disclosed, a vertical post rotatable about its own axis carries a number of peripheral supports that feature two dissimilar structures, the one designed to restrain and/or support a tool and the other a blank, in such a way that the tool currently fitted to the head can be discarded and a replacement tool supplied automatically, utilizing the one type of support, whilst the blanks are changed by the other type.
