A tool changing system having high current surface mount tools, such as a hot bar reflow soldering head. The tool changing system includes a mounting fixture for connecting and disconnecting the surface mounting tool to a robotic unit. A low profile, small diameter robotic tool adaptor is utilized for coupling a variety of different types and kinds of robotic units to the surface mount tool and to reduce lead to pad misalignment problem caused by non-copolanarity between the mounting surface of the robotic unit and the working surface of the surface mount tool.
