Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from Brother. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Speedio M140X2 is a compact BT30 mill-turn machine: a tilting A axis, a 360° C axis and a 2,000 rpm turning spindle in the rotary table, under a milling spindle that reaches 10,000 rpm as standard and 16,000 rpm as an option. Linear travel is 200 x 440 x 305 mm (7.9 x 17.3 x 12.0 in). The M140X2 is no longer a current Brother model, so most buyers will meet it as a used machine.

The workholding is what sets it apart. The table is listed as D140 (D5.5) and conforms to table nose No.5 of ISO702-4, a lathe-style spindle nose, so a chuck mounts directly and round parts can be turned and then milled, drilled and tapped in one clamping. The A axis tilts from 120° to -30°, and the table end carries 40 kg (88.2 lb) while the tail side takes 11 kg (24.3 lb). Those limits point at small shafts, fittings and valve bodies rather than fixtured plates.

Turning power is 4.2 kW at up to 2,000 rpm. The milling spindle is rated 10.1 kW for 10 minutes and 6.7 kW continuous, with tapping to 6,000 rpm. Dual-contact tooling and coolant through the spindle are both options, so check a used machine for them rather than assuming they are fitted.

The 22-tool magazine changes tool to tool in 0.9 s and chip to chip in 1.4 s, and all three linear axes rapid at 50 m/min (1,969 ipm). Tool limits are tight: 200 mm (7.9 in) long, 80 mm (3.1 in) in diameter and 3 kg (6.6 lb) per tool.

Plan the floor carefully. The machine is 1,280 x 3,829 mm (50.4 x 150.7 in) in plan, 2,603 mm (102.5 in) tall and weighs 2,712 kg (5,979 lb). It also asks for 165 L/min of air at 0.4 - 0.6 MPa. The three-axis Speedio S300X1 asks for 45 L/min, so a shop moving up from an S machine may need a bigger compressor.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

The rotary table turns at up to 2,000 rpm with 4.2 kW, so turned and milled features come off in one clamping
Table conforms to table nose No.5 of ISO702-4, so a lathe chuck mounts directly
A axis tilts from 120° to -30° with C rotating 360° for five-sided work on small parts
22 tools with 0.9 s tool-to-tool and 1.4 s chip-to-chip changes
Milling spindle runs 10,000 rpm as standard with a 16,000 rpm option, and taps to 6,000 rpm

Limitations

The table end carries only 40 kg (88.2 lb) and the tail side 11 kg (24.3 lb), which rules out heavy chucked work
Tools are limited to 80 mm (3.1 in) in diameter, 200 mm (7.9 in) in length and 3 kg (6.6 lb)
X travel is 200 mm (7.9 in), so long parts have to be turned and machined in short sections or elsewhere
Needs 165 L/min of air at 0.4 - 0.6 MPa and a 3,829 mm (150.7 in) long floor space
No longer a current Brother model; dual-contact spindle and coolant through the spindle were options

Best For

Small turned parts that also need milled flats, cross holes and tapped holes Chucked work within 40 kg (88.2 lb) on the table end Short-cycle production where 1.4 s chip-to-chip matters Shops replacing a lathe-plus-mill route on small shafts and fittings

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Can the Speedio M140X2 actually turn parts?

Yes. The table lists a turning spindle speed of 2,000 rpm and 4.2 kW of turning power, and the table follows table nose No.5 of ISO702-4 so a chuck fits. Turning, milling, drilling and tapping can be done without moving the part to a second machine.

02 How much weight can the M140X2 table and tail side take?

40 kg (88.2 lb) on the table side and 11 kg (24.3 lb) on the tail side. Allowable load inertia is 0.29 kg·m² (991 lb·in²) on the table side and 0.03 kg·m² (103 lb·in²) on the tail side. Add up chuck, jaws and part before quoting a job.

03 What spindle options were offered on the M140X2?

The standard spindle runs to 10,000 rpm and a 16,000 rpm spindle was optional. Both are BT30 (7/24 taper No. 30) with MAS-BT30 shanks and MAS-P30T-2 pull studs. Dual-contact tooling and coolant through the spindle were also options, so confirm which a used machine has.

04 What utilities does the M140X2 need?

Power is listed as AC V±10%, 50/60Hz±1Hz with a capacity of 9.5 kVA for both the 10,000 rpm and the 16,000 rpm spindle. Air demand is 165 L/min at 0.4 - 0.6 MPa, which is large for a machine of this size, so check the shop compressor.

05 How accurate is the M140X2?

Brother lists positioning accuracy of 0.006 - 0.020 mm (0.00024 - 0.00079 in) and repeatability below 0.004 mm (0.00016 in). On a used machine these are the figures to check against a ballbar or test cut before acceptance.
