Brother TC-S2DN-O

What the maker publishes about the current Brother TC-S2DN-O

TC-S2DN-O is the long X version within Brother's TC-S2DN group of CNC tapping centers, which shares one page with the TC-S2DN and the TC-S2DN-S. Its X axis reaches 700 mm, longer than either sibling's, while Y stops at 400 mm and Z at 300 mm. All three share one rapid rate, 50 m/min. For this version Brother prints three spindle maximums, 10,000, 16,000 and 27,000 min-1, and a magazine of either 14 or 21 tools. A floor area of 2,050 x 2,207 mm is required. Across the group, the overview mentions high torque spindle specifications as an addition to the line, a reworked layout of ribs within the structure, lower draw of electric power and compressed air, and measures for dealing with chips. Brother has since placed the TC-S2DN group among its discontinued products.
