Our best estimate for the Brother SPEEDIO S500X1N is $90,000 - $140,000. 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-s500x1n#price; the request is passed to Brother Industries or an authorised dealer.
X, Y and Z travels are 500 × 400 × 305 mm (19.7 × 15.7 × 12.0 in). The table carries up to 200 kg (441 lb). The table size itself is not in the listed figures, so ask Brother for the table drawing before designing fixtures that use the full X stroke.
A 16,000 rpm spindle rated 5.5 kW (7.4 hp) with a BT30 taper. BIG-PLUS dual-contact holders are listed as an option. The speed suits small cutters in aluminium and non-ferrous metals; the power rating keeps heavy steel roughing off this machine.
The rapid-traverse row gives 50 m/min (1,969 ipm) on all axes. A second row on the same table gives 50 × 50 × 56 m/min for X, Y and Z, which would put Z higher. Because the two rows disagree on Z, confirm the figure for the specific machine before using it in cycle-time estimates.
The SPEEDIO S700X1N extends X travel to 700 mm (27.6 in) on the same 400 mm (15.7 in) of Y and 305 mm (12.0 in) of Z, with the same 5.5 kW (7.4 hp) spindle rating and 200 kg (441 lb) table load. The SPEEDIO S700X1N runs 10,000 rpm as standard with 16,000 rpm as an option and lists a Z rapid of 48 m/min (1,890 ipm). The S500X1N lists 16,000 rpm in its table.
A turret-type magazine with 14 or 21 positions, holding BT30 tools. Chip-to-chip time is 1.4 seconds. On parts that call many small tools in sequence, that short change time is one of the main reasons to choose a machine of this type.
