Brother Milling TC-22B-O VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust table measuring 33.5 inches in length by 17.7 inches in width, capable of supporting workpieces up to 661 lbs. The machine is equipped with a high-speed vertical spindle featuring a #30 taper and a maximum speed of 16,000 RPM, delivering 13.5 HP (30-minute rating) for demanding milling operations. Tooling is managed by a 27-station automatic tool changer (ATC), enabling rapid tool changes with a chip-to-chip time of just 2.4 seconds and a tool-to-tool time of 0.9 seconds, significantly reducing non-cutting time. The machine operates on three axes (X, Y, Z), with travel distances of 27.6 inches (X), 17.7 inches (Y), and 16.1 inches (Z), providing ample workspace for a variety of part sizes. Each axis supports a maximum feed rate of 787 IPM and a rapid traverse rate of 2,756 IPM, ensuring fast and precise movement during machining cycles. The design supports high productivity and accuracy, making it suitable for complex milling tasks in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and mold making. A pallet changer is available as an optional feature for increased automation and throughput. The machine’s structure and drive system are engineered for rigidity, stability, and thermal consistency, ensuring long-term accuracy and reliability in production environments.
