Abstract

An industrial robot for feeding workpieces (29) to a machine tool comprises a gripping unit (19) mounted on an arm system, the robot being operable to grip a workpiece in the gripping unit, transfer the workpiece held in the gripping unit from a supply station to a work station in the machine tool and, after a machining operation, transfer the workpiece to a delivery station. The workpiece is held by the robot throughout the transfer and machining operations, and the workpiece is located accurately in a predetermined position in the work station during the machining operation by a locating device (61) on the machine tool engaging a cooperating locating device (60) on the gripper unit of the robot. <IMAGE>
