Advantages
Brother Speedio R650Xd1
- 650 mm (25.6 in) X travel against 300 mm (11.8 in)
- One face 800 x 400 table on a pallet-type layout for multi-face parts
- Optional 435 mm (17.1 in) Z travel
Brother Speedio S300Xd2
- 12,000 rpm standard spindle against 10,000 rpm
- 250 kg (551 lb) load against One face 200 kg (441 lb)
- 0.6 / 0.7 sec tool-to-tool against 0.6 / 0.8 sec
- Lighter and smaller: 2,350 kg (5,181 lb) on a 1,080 × 2,161 mm floor space
Verdict
Choose by part size. The Brother Speedio R650Xd1 suits larger multi-face parts, such as automotive powertrain components and aerospace brackets, that need 650 mm of X travel and machining on several faces in one setup. The Speedio S300Xd2 suits high-volume small aluminum and non-ferrous parts in compact robotic cells, where 12,000 rpm and a 1,080 mm wide machine make the most of floor space.
