Abstract: A modular tooling package is disclosed for use in an assembly machine having a plurality of actuators for operating a plurality of tools. The tooling package comprises a module block and a plurality of tools carried by the module block. Each of the tools is arranged for relative movement in response to forces imparted by a respective one of the actuators at a respective separable interface. A means for removably mounting the module block to the assembly machine enables the tooling package to be removed from the assembly machine as an integral unit. The tooling package is operatively coupled to and decoupled from the assembly machine at the respective separable interfaces, thereby enabling the plurality of tool actuators to remain in the assembly machine when the tooling package is removed therefrom.
