2017 BROTHER Speedio M140X1 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2017 Brother Speedio M140X1 is a 5-axis compact multi-tasking machining center designed for simultaneous milling and turning of small precision components in a single setup. As the predecessor to the M140X2, the M140X1 features a D140 mm (5.5-inch) diameter indexing turning table with a C-axis providing 360-degree rotation and an A-axis with a tilt range enabling 5-axis simultaneous machining of contoured and multi-face features. The BT30 taper milling spindle delivers a standard maximum speed of 10,000 RPM with a continuous (S1) power rating of 6.7 kW (approximately 9.0 HP); an optional 16,000 RPM spindle configuration is available for higher-speed cutting. Linear axis travels are 200 mm (7.9 inches) in X, 440 mm (17.3 inches) in Y, and 305 mm (12.0 inches) in Z. The integrated turning spindle operates at up to 2,000 RPM, enabling live-tool turning operations without workpiece re-chucking. The machine is governed by the Brother CNC-C00 control, which offers Fanuc G-code compatibility and simultaneous 5-axis control capability. Rapid traverse rates of 50 m/min on all linear axes and chip-to-chip ATC times under 1.4 seconds keep cycle times competitive on complex multi-operation parts. The overall machine footprint measures 3,641 mm x 1,280 mm (143.4 x 50.4 inches) with a height of 2,513 mm (98.9 inches), and the machine weighs approximately 2,370 kg (5,226 lbs). Standard equipment includes a 22-tool ATC, coolant system, and chip management provisions. The M140X1 is suited for precision manufacturers in aerospace, medical, and electronics industries seeking compact multi-tasking capability without the footprint of a conventional mill-turn center.
