Brother TC-32BN

What the maker publishes about the current Brother TC-32BN

Brother's TC-32BN is a No. 30 taper machining center whose column moves over the work, with a magazine of 26 or 40 tools plus one, and Brother's Japanese spec page, which marks it as discontinued, covers two versions. The TC-32BN QT has a two face turntable with work areas of 600 x 425 mm per face, loads of 200 kg per face, a 1,200 mm turning diameter and a 3.4 second half turn, while the TC-32BN FT has a fixed 800 x 400 mm table that carries 600 kg. Both travel 550 mm in X, 400 mm in Y and 415 mm in Z and use a CNC-B00 control. The spindle comes in 12,000 and 16,000 min-1 forms and takes a 7/24 No. 30 taper. Each axis rapids at 70 m/min, and cutting feed spans 1 to 20,000 mm/min. The spindle nose sits 645 mm above the table, or 865 mm on the low base FT.

What the Brother TC-32BN is used for

Brother's Japanese page headlines a 40-tool magazine for No. 30 taper work (the spec lists 26 or 40 tools, each plus one) and builds the TC-32BN as a moving-column machine in two forms: the QT, with a two-face turntable carrying up to 200 kg per face, and the FT, with a fixed table that takes up to 600 kg spread evenly.

• Spindle taper. The manufacturer gives a spindle taper of 7/24テーパNo.30. Check it for fretting and that the drawbar holds a tool.
• Rapids and ballscrews. The manufacturer gives a rapid traverse of 70m/min×70m/min×70m/min. Measure the backlash on each axis.
• Table. The manufacturer gives a table size of 600mm×425mm（片面） (QT per face; FT 800 x 400 mm) and a table load of 200kg（片面） (QT per face; FT 600 kg). Check the table and its T-slots for damage.
