2018 Brother Speedio R650x1 CNC Vertical Machining Center

The 2018 Brother Speedio R650X1 is a high-speed vertical machining center designed to outperform conventional VMCs in fast-paced, small-part production. With its compact structure and blazing tool change times, this machine dominates the mid-sized production space, especially in automotive, electronics, and precision component manufacturing. The machine offers X/Y/Z travels of 25.59" x 15.75" x 12.01", providing ample room for multiple parts per fixture or moderate-sized castings. The 14-position automatic tool changer is designed for ultra-fast exchanges, reaching tool-to-tool times as low as 0.8 seconds, a signature feature of the Speedio series.

The spindle features a 10,000 RPM, 16.1 HP (12 kW) direct-drive motor that provides rapid acceleration and deceleration for short cycle times. The machine also includes through-spindle coolant, a probing system, and a mist collector, which collectively support high-precision, automated, and clean machining operations. The Speedio R650X1 excels with roller linear guides, high rapid traverse rates (typically ~2,125 IPM), and thermal compensation features. Its space-saving design and efficient chip evacuation make it ideal for integration into cellular or automated production lines.
