Our best estimate for the Brother TC-S2B is $55,000 - $80,000. This is an estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) in this class, not a quote from Brother Industries; configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/brother-tc-s2b#price; the request is passed to Brother Industries or an authorised dealer.
The listed travels are 400 mm (15.7 in) in X, 300 mm (11.8 in) in Y and 250 mm (9.8 in) in Z, on a 500 x 300 mm (19.7 x 11.8 in) table. Weight is the tighter limit: the table is rated for 50 kg (110 lb), including the vise.
A BT30 spindle rated 10,000 RPM, with 16,000 RPM as an option, on a 2.2 kW (3.0 HP) motor. The low power suits drills, taps and small end mills; check which spindle a used machine has before quoting small-hole work.
The TC-R2B has 420 mm (16.5 in) of X, 320 mm (12.6 in) of Y and 305 mm (12 in) of Z, 50 m/min (1,968 ipm) rapids and 14 tools, with the same 10,000 rpm spindle and 16,000 rpm option. The TC-S2B listing gives a smaller envelope and slower rapids but a 21-tool ATC.
The listing names the Brother CNC-C00. The TC-S2B is not on Brother's current product pages, so confirm the control on the machine and make sure the manuals and a parameter backup are part of the sale.
