ISO 30 Tool Changer
HS Spindles stocks two ISO30 automatic tool changer configurations: a 6-position changer for shops running a lean tool list, and a 12-position Plus changer for higher tool-count jobs that need reinforced carousel construction for sustained cycling. Both are sized to the ISO30 taper and flange dimensions used across common ISO30 machining centers, and both install as direct replacements for a worn or failing OEM changer. Position count is the main decision point here – a 6-position changer keeps carousel travel short for simple jobs, while the 12-position Plus trades a slightly longer cycle for the flexibility of running more tool variety without manual intervention. If your current changer is showing signs of wear – hesitant pickup, dropped tools, or misaligned pockets – pair the replacement with a compatible ISO30 gripper and pull stud check to rule out those components first.
