The system comprises a plurality of essentially disc-shaped tool or workpiece supporting members rotatably and coaxially arranged with reference to a first axis of rotation which receive and support a plurality of tools or workpieces along the periphery thereof. A transport arm is pivotally mounted on a second axis of rotation and longitudinally displaceable along said second axis located in a certain distance from said first axis of rotation. The transport arm is adjustable with reference to its length and includes a gripping member mounted on its free end. The transport arm further includes a turning knuckle, the axis thereof extending in an angle of 45.degree. with reference to the length adjustment direction of the transport arm, and a transport arm element, one end thereof being connected to said turning knuckle and the other end thereof bearing said gripping means, whereby the transport arm element means is generally L- or arc-shaped.
