Industrial BT30 & BT40 Tool Changer Forks - Reinforced with Iron Tenon Plates
The Industrial BT30 & BT40 Tool Changer Forks are premium-grade grippers designed for the rigorous demands of modern CNC machining centers. Unlike standard plastic forks, these clips are integrated with high-strength iron tenon plates that reinforce the structural integrity of the cradle. This hybrid construction ensures that the fork maintains its geometric precision even under the heavy weight of BT40 tool holders and high-speed centrifugal forces during carousel rotation. The reinforced plates significantly reduce mechanical fatigue and prevent the 'spreading' or deformation of the gripper fingers over time. Designed for seamless integration into Automatic Tool Changers (ATC), these forks provide a secure, vibration-free hold that ensures surgical tool-change accuracy and protects both the spindle and the tool holder from damage during rapid transitions.
- Integrated iron tenon plates for significantly enhanced structural strength
- Precision-molded body for perfect BT30/BT40 flange alignment
- High wear resistance for long-term industrial duty cycles
- Facilitates smooth and reliable automatic tool changes (ATC)
- Engineered to handle heavier tool assemblies without deformation
- Ideal for high-precision metalworking and industrial CNC routers

Technical FAQ & Operational Guide
What is the benefit of the iron tenon plates?
Standard plastic forks can flex or bend over time, especially when holding heavier BT40 tools. The iron tenon plates act as a rigid skeleton, ensuring the fork maintains its shape and gripping force for thousands of tool-change cycles, preventing tool drops.
Are these forks interchangeable between BT30 and BT40?
No. While they belong to the same series, BT30 and BT40 have different flange diameters. You must select the specific size that matches your tool holder taper to ensure a secure fit.
How do I install these on my ATC magazine?
These forks typically feature standard mounting holes for carousel or linear magazines. Ensure the iron plate is facing the correct direction as per your magazine's locking mechanism to provide maximum support.
