Abstract
The tool holder (14) includes a tool holder head (30) having a planar abutment face (38) and a tool holder shaft (40) extending at right angles away from the abutment face (38) and adapted to be clamped in a receiving bore (44) of a tool support (10). A gripper plate (50) lies in abutment against the abutment face (38) all around the tool holder shaft (40) and has two gripping faces (54 and 56) inclined with respect to each other at one side of the tool holder shaft (40) and another gripping face (58) at the opposite side inclined with respect to said two gripping faces. The gripper plate (50) is adapted to be grasped in such manner by a gripper (20) that the tool holder (14) will adopt an exactly predetermined position with respect to the gripper (20), regardless of how the tool holder is designed otherwise.
