Our best estimate for the Brother Speedio S500Xd2 is $100,000 - $150,000 (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-s500xd2#price; the request is passed to Brother Industries or an authorised dealer.
Z travel rises from 300 mm (11.8 in) to 380 mm (15.0 in), and the spindle-nose-to-table range from 180 - 480 mm (7.1 - 18.9 in) to 150 - 530 mm (5.9 - 20.9 in). Chip-to-chip time with 14 or 21 tools goes from 1.2 to 1.3 sec, and with 28 tools from 1.3 to 1.4 sec.
The Speedio S500Xd1 has 400 mm (15.7 in) of Y on a 600 x 400 mm (23.6 x 15.7 in) table, a 10,000 rpm standard spindle and a 300 mm (11.8 in) Z only. The 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 the optional 380 mm (15.0 in) Z.
The standard spindle runs to 12,000 rpm. Options are a high-torque 10,000 rpm spindle and 20,000 or 27,000 rpm spindles. The listed rating is 10.1 kW for 10 min and 7.0 kW continuous, and maximum tapping speed is 6,000 rpm, or 8,000 with the 27,000 rpm spindle.
The table takes 250 kg (551 lb) as standard and 400 kg (881 lb) with the option. On the 600 × 450 mm (23.4 × 17.7 in) table that is enough for a steel fixture plate holding several parts, provided the option is specified.
