Described and shown is a changer for changing tools to be used consecutively on a robotic arm having a base part and a changer part, which are connected to one another in a connecting position, in such a way that the base part can be adjusted from the connecting position in an extracting direction relative to the changer part into a separating position separated from the changer part and back to the connecting position in an insertion direction, and wherein the base part has a locking mechanism which can be adjusted from a locking position to a unlocking position, releasing a separation of the base part and back, and interacting with the changer part. In order for simple and inexpensive changer systems to be provided, it is provided for the locking mechanism to have a receptacle for receiving an actuating means in the extracting direction or an actuating means for inserting into a receptacle in the insertion direction, in that the locking mechanism is designed perpendicular to the extracting direction for positively receiving the actuating means, and in that the locking mechanism is designed to be able to be adjusted from the unlocking position to the locking position by adjusting the receptacle or the actuating means in the unlocking direction relative to the base part and/or by adjusting the receptacle or the actuating means in the locking direction relative to the base part.
A changer for changing tools to be used consecutively on a robotic arm, having a base part and a changer part,
