Brother Speedio R650X2 vs Brother Speedio R650Xd1
Brother vs Brother Industries · Vertical Machining Centers
Summary
The Brother Speedio R650X2 and Speedio R650Xd1 are two generations of the same pallet-type 30-taper machine, and the table shows them nearly identical: 650 x 400 x 305 mm of travel, a One face 800 x 400 table with One face 200 kg (441 lb) load, a 10,000 rpm BT30 spindle rated 10.1 kW (10 min) / 7.0 kW continuous, and 50 / 50 / 50 m/min rapids.
The R650Xd1 is slightly quicker chip-to-chip, 1.4 / 1.5 sec against 1.4/1.6 sec, runs the CNC-D00 control against the CNC-C00, and needs less floor space at 1,830 x 3,029 mm against 1,897 x 3,448 mm. The R650X2 is marginally lighter at 3,500 kg (7,716 lb) against 3,550 kg (7,826 lb).

Advantages
Brother Speedio R650X2
- Marginally lighter at 3,500 kg (7,716 lb) against 3,550 kg (7,826 lb)
- CNC-C00 control, matching existing Speedio lines that already run it
Brother Speedio R650Xd1
- 1.4 / 1.5 sec chip-to-chip against 1.4/1.6 sec
- Smaller floor space: 1,830 x 3,029 mm (72.0 x 119.3 in) against 1,897 x 3,448 mm (74.7 x 135.7 in)
- CNC-D00 control
Verdict
The working envelope, spindle and load are the same, so this is a choice of control and footprint. Choose the Speedio R650Xd1 for a new cell, where its smaller 1,830 x 3,029 mm floor space and slightly quicker chip-to-chip time help. Choose the R650X2 when it joins an existing line of Speedio machines on the CNC-C00 control and operators should not switch controls.
