You can't spend a focus token only to trigger the astromech, as it doesn't let you spend tokens on it. It lacks any "spend a focus token to do X" language. Instead it triggers when you spend a focus token on some other effect, e.g. modifying your focuses to hits, or modifying one focus to a crit with Calculation.

Or in other words, there's a difference between "spend a focus token to..." and "when you spend a focus token...".
