ABSTRACT:
A tool is positioned relative to a clamping unit by gripping the tool with a gripping device and moving the gripping device to position the tool in a socket of the clamping unit. Simultaneously, a motor-powered drive wheel, which is mounted on the gripping device, becomes meshed with a wheel of the clamping unit. The driven wheel is rotated and causes tool to be moved axially into a tightly clamped position within the socket. The gripping device is movable in radial and axial directions and is capable of removing the tool from the clamping unit and transporting the tool to and from a magazine.
