Brother Industries vs Brother Industries · Vertical Machining Centers
Summary
The Brother Speedio R450Xd1 and Speedio W1000Xd2 both use a BT30 spindle rated 10.1 kW (10 min) / 7.0 kW continuous and the CNC-D00 control, but they serve different jobs. The R450Xd1 is a compact pallet-type machine for small multi-face parts. The W1000Xd2 is a wide-table machine for long parts, with 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of X travel against 450 mm (17.7 in).
The W1000Xd2 also has 500 mm (19.7 in) of Y travel against 320 mm (12.6 in), a 1,100 x 500 mm table, a 300 kg (661 lb) load against One face 120 kg (265 lb), and 12,000 rpm against 10,000 rpm. The R450Xd1 is the lighter machine at 2,750 kg (6,063 lb) against 3,350 kg (7,385 lb), and tool changes are the same at 0.6 / 0.7 sec.

Advantages
Brother Speedio R450Xd1
- Lighter machine at 2,750 kg (6,063 lb) against 3,350 kg (7,385 lb)
- Narrower floor space at 1,400 mm wide against 2,410 mm
- Pallet-type layout for multi-face work without re-fixturing
Brother Speedio W1000Xd2
- 1,000 mm (39.4 in) X travel against 450 mm (17.7 in)
- 1,100 x 500 mm (43.3 x 19.7 in) table and 300 kg (661 lb) load
- 12,000 rpm standard spindle against 10,000 rpm
- 50 / 50 / 56 m/min rapids against 50 / 50 / 50 m/min
Verdict
Choose the Brother Speedio R450Xd1 for small automotive and medical parts that need several faces machined in one production cell. Choose the Speedio W1000Xd2 for long parts such as rails, elongated housings, enclosures and aluminum extrusions, or for several parts fixtured across its 1,100 x 500 mm table, where 1,000 mm of X travel is the deciding figure.
