A method for replacing a working component in an automatic machine has a mapping phase and a working phase. The mapping phase involves defining a first reference point fixed relative to the automatic machine and a position in machine of the working component. The working phase involves: stopping the automatic machine (); starting a procedure of configuration change preparing the automatic machine for a withdrawal of the working component; detecting the first reference point; determining the position in machine of the working component; picking up the working component from the position in machine by means of a gripping device; releasing the working component in a storing position; picking up a replacement working component from a stocking position by means of the gripping device; positioning the gripping device at the position in machine; and inserting and fixing the replacement working component in the position in machine.
