it is not a tool changer, it is a spindle changer. there is probably a gear mechansim somewhere in the middle of the carousel that engages whichever spindle is pointing at the table to a single spindle motor. the one i had to repair had worn through one of its right angle helical meshes on one of the spindle pots - kind of not surprisingly. what was a surprise was that each of the spindles was born on an opposing pair of conical rollers, and the outer roller races were the machined surfaces of the cast iron carousel block that carried them all.
