The first member (2) comprises an electric coil (10) capable in a magnetic way to attract said second member (5) whereby the members (2.5) are retained to each other when current flows through the coil (10). Said first member (2) and said second member (5) are provided with means (15-18;23,24,26) for transferring electric current and/or compressed air or vacuum or substances between a source connected to the first member (2) and a tool (6) attached to the second member (5). According to a preferred embodiment, necessary tools are accurately positioned in expedient stands whereby the robot itself by programming can deliver and fetch tools.
