Our best estimate for the Brother TC-S2D is $75,000 - $110,000. 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-s2d#price; the request is passed to Brother Industries or an authorised dealer.
Mainly for the footprint. The TC-S2C needs 1,180 × 2,917 mm (46.5 × 114.8 in) for the same 300 x 400 x 300 mm (11.8 x 15.7 x 11.8 in) travels, while the TC-S2D fits in 1,080 × 2,540 mm (42.5 × 100 in). Spindle, tool count and rapids are listed the same.
The TC-S2DN shares the TC-S2D travels and 1,080 × 2,540 mm (42.5 × 100 in) footprint, and adds a 27,000 rpm spindle option alongside the 16,000 rpm one. On the TC-S2D itself the options stop at 16,000 rpm.
