Abstract
The present invention is directed to an apparatus and method for moving tools between a storage structure and a machine tool. The apparatus includes a framework on which is mounted a linkage assembly comprising a plurality of individual links pivotably interconnected. A tool holder is attached to one link and is configured to select tools from the storage structure and move them into proximity with the machine tool. The apparatus also removes the tool from the machine tool and returns it to the storage structure. The linkage assembly provides for efficient movement of the tool holder along a complex curvilinear path by pivoting a single link or element of the linkage assembly.
