Brother's New TC-S2A Machining Center Is Designed For Productivity
Schaumburg, IL (May 23, 2002) - Brother's new TC-S2A machining center is engineered for speed and precision. The TC-S2A rapidly drills, taps and mills workpieces economically and accurately.
A variety of features contribute to the TC-S2A's performance. Brother's own drum-style tool changer (14-tool capacity) increases speed with fast chip to chip tool change times. This Brother patented tool changer design is well known for its reliability. For greater efficiency, spindle speeds reach up to 16,000 rpm, while X/Y-axis and Z-axis rapid traverse speeds are 1,417 and 1,968 ipm respectively.
The controller is designed by Brother to maximize productivity specifically on their machines. It is easy to use with G-code and Brother also includes their own G-code, such as non-stop tool change code. The Brother controller also features an original conversational system that reduces the time from programming to machining.
The TC-S2A is one of three machining centers from Brother's new Performance Series of economically priced machines. To accommodate larger work envelopes, Brother offers the TC-S2A-O, featuring an extended X-axis on this machine.
