Brother's Newest TC-32A CNC Tapping Center Combines Speeds Of 16,000 RPM With High Torque
Schaumburg. IL (March 20. 2002) - Boasting speeds of 16,000 rpm and high torque, the newest Brother TC-32A CNC Tapping Center from Yamazen, Inc. offers extreme efficiency and productivity.
Along with high speeds and torque, a range of design enhancemnents contribute to the highly productive and labor-saving performance of the TC-32A. To minimize non-machining time, Brother's TC-32A includes a Quick Table. This rotating pallet table allows for the machining of a work piece on one side of the table during the setup of another work piece on the opposite side of the table. When the machining operation is completed, the enlarged Quick Table quickly rotates 180 degrees. The Quick Table's expanded width allows for greater flexibility and capacity for jigs and indexers.
Labor time is further reduced with the TC-32A's large tool magazine (up to 27 tools) and available 4th Axis. The unit's automatic tool changer performs rapid, 2.2 second chip-to-chip tool changes.
Brother's TC-32A meets the demand for higher productivity while maintaining high accuracy. Through the use of a Brother Controller, vibration is reduced in all axes with smoother acceleration and deceleration rates. This controller is powerful, yet user-friendly, working in both G-Code and conversational modes.
Other productive features include a dual contact spindle and a through-spindle coolant system. Furthermore, Brother's exclusive real-time heat expansion compensation function eliminates lag time and increases uptime, as it continuously calculates the amount of heat expansion. Sensors and measurement time are therefore unnecessary.
The TC-32A's use of a high performance IPM motor (internal magnetic type) in place an SPM motor (surface magnetic type) not only results in higher torque, but energy savings as well.
The TC-32A's reduction in machining time, labor and energy make it ideal for the lean manufacturing of a wide variety of work pieces, including electrical, precision and automotive parts. The TC-32A functions well as a stand-alone unit or when grouped in a transfer line.
