1.8Kw 60000RPM ATC Spindle
1.8 kW auto tool change spindle, 60000 rpm max speed, 62mm body diameter.
Overview
The TSA-18 is a 1.8 kW auto tool change spindle, capable of up to 60000 rpm, with a 62mm body diameter.
An ATC spindle releases and grips tooling under machine control - typically pneumatically - so a tool change program can swap cutters without stopping for a manual collet change, which matters on a job running many different tools in sequence. The 62mm body diameter is confirmed from this product's own listing, useful for sizing a spindle clamp such as this catalogue's TSH-62; collet size is not stated anywhere for this SKU, so it needs confirming directly before ordering tooling.
This catalogue also carries the TSA-15, identically named on the original listing ("1.8Kw 60000RPM ATC Spindle") and priced the same - the two share power and max speed but are distinguished here by the one fact each product's own listing states: this one by its 62mm body diameter, the TSA-15 by its 6mm collet. Confirm which one you actually need against the body diameter or collet size your application requires, since the shared name makes them otherwise indistinguishable.

Questions
What collet size does this take? I need to order tooling.
That's not stated anywhere for this SKU — confirm it directly before ordering tooling, rather than assuming.
I see another listing here with the exact same name ("1.8Kw 60000RPM ATC Spindle") — is this a duplicate, or is there an actual difference?
Not a duplicate — same power and max speed, and priced the same, but this one and the TSA-15 are distinguished by the one confirmed fact each listing states: this one by its 62mm body diameter, the TSA-15 by its 6mm collet. Check which fact matches what your application actually needs.
How does the auto tool change actually work — pneumatic?
Typically pneumatic — it releases and grips tooling under machine control, so a program can swap cutters without stopping for a manual collet change. Useful on a job running many different tools in sequence.
What spindle clamp size do I need for this?
62mm body diameter — sized to match a clamp such as this catalogue's TSH-62.
