BROTHER TC-324N VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Brother TC-324N Vertical Machining Center is a high-speed, compact CNC machine designed for precision milling, drilling, and tapping operations. It features a dual-pallet table with a working area of 19.7" x 11.8" per surface and a maximum uniform load capacity of 176 lbs per pallet, allowing for efficient batch processing. The machine offers X-axis travel of 16.5", Y-axis travel of 12.6", and Z-axis travel of 10.6", providing a versatile work envelope for a range of part sizes. The spindle delivers speeds from 10 to 10,000 RPM, powered by a robust 7.5 HP drive, and utilizes a BT30 taper for reliable tool holding. Tool changing is handled by a 14-station turret, with a tool-to-tool time of 1.2 seconds and a chip-to-chip time of 2.3 seconds, ensuring rapid cycle times and high productivity. Rapid traverse rates on all axes reach 1181 IPM, enhancing throughput. The distance from table top to spindle nose ranges from 7.5" to 17.7", accommodating various tooling and workpiece configurations. The machine weighs approximately 6,200 lbs and has approximate dimensions of 4'8" (width) x 10' (depth) x 8' (height), making it suitable for facilities with space constraints. The Brother TC-324N is engineered for accuracy, speed, and reliability, ideal for demanding production environments requiring high-volume, precision machining.
