Check his other videos for other parts that make the changer.
And this is not the one Andy mentioned, i think.

Robodrills and Brothers both have tool changers that don't use pneumatics.
The drawbar is compressed by an arm that goes through the headstock to a camplate on the column when Z is raised. Z raises some more to pull the tool out of the spindle, and when fully raised either a set of gears (on on the spindle nose and the other on the turret) mesh and the spindle rotates to rotate the turret, or a separate servo motor on the turret rotates to bring the next tool in line with the spindle. Then Z lowers onto the tool and doing so releases the arm holding the drawbar open.
