Our best estimate for the Brother Speedio S500Xd1 is $95,000 - $140,000 (new). 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-s500xd1#price; the request is passed to Brother Industries or an authorised dealer.
250 kg (551 lb) as standard and 400 kg (881 lb) with the option. The older SPEEDIO S500X1 offered 300 kg (661 lb) with its option, so the S500Xd1 takes noticeably heavier fixtures when specified that way.
The Speedio S500Xd2 has 450 mm (17.7 in) of Y on a 600 × 450 mm (23.4 × 17.7 in) table, a 12,000 rpm standard spindle and an optional 380 mm (15.0 in) Z. The S500Xd1 has 400 mm (15.7 in) of Y on a 600 x 400 mm table, a 10,000 rpm standard spindle and 300 mm (11.8 in) of Z.
The Speedio U500Xd1 shares the 500 × 400 × 300 mm (19.7 × 15.7 × 11.8 in) travels and adds a tilting table with an A axis of 120 to -30° and a 360° C axis on a ø260 mm (ø10.2 in) table. The Speedio U500Xd1 table carries 100 kg (220 lb), and the machine weighs 2,650 kg (5,843 lb).
With the 14 or 21-tool magazine, 0.6 sec tool to tool and 1.2 sec chip to chip. With the 28-tool magazine, 0.7 sec and 1.3 sec. Tool selection uses Brother's random shortcut method.
