ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for loading and unloading a workpiece between a working position of a machine tool and a waiting position provided outside the machine tool. The apparatus comprises a rotational shaft which is supported to be rotatable about its axis extending in parallel with an axis of a work spindle, and is rotated in a clockwise direction or a counterclockwise direction within a required rotational angle by an actuator. On a bracket fixed on one end of the rotational shaft, there are installed a loading arm unit and an unloading arm unit. The loading arm unit and the unloading arm unit are arrayed in a direction of the axis of the work spindle, and extend in an up-and-down direction along a pair of lines, which intersect with each other at a predetermined angle so as to interact at the working position, respectively. Each of the loading arm unit and the unloading arm unit has a pair of gripping claws extending in a direction which is normal to the axis of the work spindle.
