2018 BROTHER SPEEDIO M140X2 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2018 Brother Speedio M140X2 is a 5-axis compact multi-tasking machining center purpose-built for complex small-part manufacturing in a minimal footprint. Combining milling and turning capabilities within a single setup, it is ideally suited for precision components requiring multi-face and contoured machining in industries such as aerospace, medical devices, and electronics. The machine features a D140 mm (5.5-inch) diameter indexing turning table with a C-axis capable of continuous 360-degree rotation and an A-axis with a tilt range of -30 to +120 degrees, enabling full 5-axis simultaneous machining. The milling spindle utilizes a BT30 taper and operates at a standard maximum speed of 10,000 RPM with a continuous (S1) power rating of 6.7 kW (approximately 9.0 HP); a 16,000 RPM spindle option is available for higher-speed cutting applications. 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 turning spindle provides a maximum speed of 2,000 RPM, enabling live-tool turning operations without re-chucking. The machine is governed by the Brother CNC-C00 control, which is Fanuc G-code compatible and facilitates up to 5 simultaneously controlled axes. Rapid traverse rates of 50 m/min across all linear axes and chip-to-chip tool change times under 1.4 seconds maintain high throughput even on complex multi-operation parts. The overall machine envelope measures 3,829 mm x 1,280 mm (150.7 x 50.4 inches) in floor space, with a height of 2,603 mm (102.5 inches), and the machine weighs approximately 2,712 kg (5,979 lbs). The M140X2 ships with a 22-tool ATC, coolant system, and chip conveyor provisions as standard.
