ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for receiving and holding tools, specifically resistance welding units, carried by a robot programmed to execute certain movements including the placing of these tools at a specific location, including a base, for a vertical frame having a series of radial supports which can be rotated about a vertical axis and immobilized in positions in which the radial supports are disposed opposite various work stations, and respective mechanisms for decoupling a tool from the robot and for coupling a tool to the robot, so that at any one time the robot only carries one tool while other tools which may be used by the robot are freely available for repair and maintenance without interrupting the operation of the robot.
