Our best estimate for the Brother Speedio U500Xd1 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-u500xd1#price; the request is passed to Brother Industries or an authorised dealer.
The A axis tilts from 120 to -30° and the C axis rotates through 360°. A indexes at 50 rpm and C at 75 (60) rpm as listed. The motors are 0.9 kW on A and 0.55 kW on C.
The table is ø260 mm (ø10.2 in) and carries 100 kg (220 lb), with an inertia limit of 1.8 kg·m² (6151 lb·in²). Spindle nose to table is 145 - 445 mm (5.7 - 17.5 in), which has to cover the part, the fixture and the tool when the table tilts.
The Speedio S500Xd1 has the same 500 × 400 × 300 mm (19.7 × 15.7 × 11.8 in) travels with a flat 600 x 400 mm (23.6 x 15.7 in) table that carries 250 kg (551 lb). The U500Xd1 replaces that table with a ø260 mm (ø10.2 in) tilting rotary table for 100 kg (220 lb) and five-axis work.
Positioning accuracy on A and C is listed at 28 sec or less and repeatability at 16 sec or less. The linear axes are listed at 0.006 - 0.020 mm (0.00024 - 0.00079 in) positioning and < 0.004 mm (0.00016 in) repeatability.
