Overview
The Brother Speedio R450Xd1 is a compact VMC with an integrated rotary table (A-axis) for multi-face machining without re-fixturing. The built-in 4th axis allows access to multiple sides of a workpiece in a single setup.
X/Y/Z travels are 450 x 300 x 305 mm with A-axis providing +/- 120 degrees of tilt. Spindle runs at 16,000 rpm with 7.5 kW on BT30 taper. The 21-tool turret delivers 0.9-second chip-to-chip changes.
Rapids are 50 m/min on X/Y, 56 m/min on Z. The integrated rotary eliminates the need for a separate 4th-axis unit. CNC-C00 handles 4-axis interpolation natively.
Positioning accuracy +/- 0.004 mm, repeatability +/- 0.002 mm. Weight is 3,400 kg with a 1,650 x 2,340 mm footprint.
Competes with Robodrill models fitted with aftermarket 4th-axis units but offers a cleaner, more rigid integrated design.
New machines price $120,000-$160,000. Used trade $55,000-$95,000.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Integrated rotary table eliminates separate 4th-axis units
- Multi-face machining in single setup reduces cycle time dramatically
- Same 0.9s turret tool change as other Speedios
- Native 4-axis interpolation in CNC-C00
- More rigid than bolt-on 4th-axis solutions
- Compact footprint matches S500Xd2
Limitations
- A-axis limited to +/- 120 degrees, not full 360
- BT30 limits heavy cutting even with multi-face access
- Y-axis 300 mm more restricted than S-series
- Integrated rotary cannot be removed for flat table work
- Higher price premium over standard Speedios
