No you can not change the tool change speed. Fadal only had 2 types of Umbrella ATC's Geneva driven and the Servo driven. The only benefit the Servo gave is that you could get to any tool location within 2-3 seconds.
You might as well start up smoking. I've always thought the tool change time on a Fadal was just about right for a cigarette break.
That's why they are popular with mold makers. If a mold takes 40 hours to make we don't really care if we save a few seconds on a tool change. By the way. I have a dual arm Fadal toolchanger. All things being equal I would rather have the extra clearance then the faster tool speed. I'm not a production shop. Sure I'd love a super fast machine but with all the hand operations in what I do an old Fadal suits me just fine. PLus I can rebuild them with duct tape and bailing wire with my eyes closed and Rodney's help.
