Our best estimate for the Brother SPEEDIO S500X1 is $80,000 - $130,000. 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-speedio-s500x1#price; the request is passed to Brother Industries or an authorised dealer.
Both have 500 × 400 × 300 mm (19.7 × 15.7 × 11.8 in) of travel and a 600 x 400 mm table. The Speedio S500Xd1 uses the CNC-D00 control, lists 7.1 kW continuous, 14, 21 or 28 tools and a 400 kg (881 lb) table option. The S500X1 has the CNC-C00 control, 6.7 kW continuous, 14 or 21 tools and a 300 kg (661 lb) option.
Brother lists the tool-change figures in seconds as 0.8 tool to tool, 1.4 chip to chip and 1.2 cut to cut. Rapids of 50 m/min (1,969 ipm) on X and Y and 56 m/min (2,205 ipm) on Z keep the moves between features short as well.
Tools up to 250 mm (9.8 in) long, 110 mm (4.3 in) in diameter and 3.0 kg (6.6 lb), on MAS-BT30 shanks with MAS-P30T-2 pull studs. The magazine holds 14 or 21 tools and selects them by the random shortcut method.
Floor space of 1,560 x 2,220 mm (61.4 x 87.4 in), 2,497 mm (98.3 in) of height and a floor for 2,250 kg (4,960 lb). Power is AC200V, 9.5 kVA with the standard spindle, and air demand is 45 L/min at 0.4 - 0.6 MPa.
