2020 Brother Speedio S700X2 CNC Vertical Machining Center

The Brother Speedio S700X2 is a compact CNC vertical machining center with a reputation for blistering speed and reliability that has made it a staple in high-volume, high-mix production shops. This unit pairs a BT30 spindle spinning up to 27,000 RPM with travels of X 27.6" / Y 15.7" / Z 11.8" and a 31.4" x 15.7" table, delivering precise, high-rpm machining in a footprint that fits almost any floor. Rapid traverse rates of roughly 1,969 ipm in X and Y and 2,205 ipm in Z, paired with a 21-tool automatic tool changer and sub-second tool changes, keep chip-to-chip times short and the spindle cutting. Flood coolant and Brother's CNC-C00 control with a manual pulse generator round out a machine engineered to move fast and hold tolerance on aluminum, steel, and exotic parts alike.

Compared to Brother's earlier TC-series tapping centers - such as the TC-S2D - the Speedio S700X2 is a generational leap rather than a simple update. Where the older TC machines offered tighter work envelopes, slower spindles, and the previous-generation control, the S700X2 brings a larger X 27.6" travel, a 27,000 RPM high-speed spindle, faster rapids, and the modern CNC-C00 control with quicker tool changes and smarter program handling. The result is dramatically shorter cycle times and the flexibility to run everything from fine-pitch tapping to full 3-axis milling on one platform. For a shop scaling high-mix production, the S700X2 delivers genuine speed and Brother reliability without the footprint of a larger machining center.
