Designed for retrofit to Haas Mini and Tool-Room Series Cat-40 10 tool machining centers, this modular toolchanger carousel disk is made of machined 6061 T6 billet aluminum. This design combats the nagging problems of cracks and warping that lead to carousel failure. The effects of toolholder taper-lock in the spindle are also reduced even after a long cycle. However if the modular disk becomes damaged you only replace the effected segments (also sold here).
Preassembled with roll pins, the 11-piece unit has 1 base and 10 segments.
The "CMI Segmented Tool Disk" greatly reduces costs associated with prolonged/unexpected downtime.

Our Carousel Disk Is Machined From 6061-T6 Billet Aluminum.
The standard carousel disk is cast aluminum and over time and use the casting will develop small cracks that quickly spread. Once the carousel disk is weakened it is only a matter of time until a failure occurs.
Our Carousel Disk Is Flat
Because our Carousel Disk was machined with the end user in mind we asked our own maintenance person what he would like to see in a carousel disk and he replied, "Can you make it flat?"
The cast carousel disk that we have installed seam to have a warping issue. Our billet carousel takes care of that problem.
Our Carousel Disk Is Tough
Running long cycle times on a cat40 tool holder can sometimes cause taper lock and during a tool change the holder can become stuck in the spindle and rip free from the carousel disk (see photo above). We have found our carousel disk to retain that tool holder even after a rigorously long cycle.
Our Carousel Disk Is Modular
We designed our Carousel Disk to consist of 10 individual forks and 1 main disk. If for some reason our Carousel Disk becomes damaged getting back up and running is fast and easy. With our modular carousel disk you can replace the section you need. If you need just one fork... you can order it!!!
Our Carousel Disk Is Ready To Go
You still have to do the change over work however our 11 piece Carousel Disk will come to you assembled as one unit with roll pins. You just need to re-attach the hardware, install the disk, and you are ready to go.
