An automatic tool changing mechanism for industrial robots, comprising a coupling device mounted on a toolholder head of the robot, and a connection plate complementary to the coupling device and firmly secured to the tool, this latter being accommodated in a toolholder magazine. Fixing of the two parts to each other is effected by rotation of a segmental crown gear mounted on the toolholder head and driven by actuator means mounted on the toolholder magazine. The mechanism further comprises a plurality of electrical and fluid connections energized simultaneously with the mechanical connection of the two parts and interrupted automatically on their separation.
