Brother SPEEDIO S300X1N

The Brother SPEEDIO S300X1N is a narrow-body variant of the S300X1 compact high-speed vertical machining center, delivering the same 300 mm X-travel and 5-axis simultaneous machining capability in a reduced-width enclosure for tight production line installations. The N (Narrow) designation indicates an optimized machine body that enables tighter machine-to-machine spacing in production environments where floor space is at a premium.

The S300X1N provides 300 x 300 x 250 mm (11.8 x 11.8 x 9.8 in) X/Y/Z travels with a trunnion-style tilting rotary table (A-axis: -30 to +120 degrees, C-axis: 360 degrees continuous). The 16,000 RPM BT30 spindle, 0.9-second tool-to-tool change, and rapid traverse rates of 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) maintain the full Speedio 5-axis speed advantage. The 22-tool ATC provides ample capacity for complex 5-axis programs.

This is one of the most compact simultaneous 5-axis machining centers available, and the narrow-body option pushes that compactness further. For production cells running small 5-axis components — medical implants, aerospace brackets, watch components, precision instruments — the S300X1N enables 5-axis capability in spaces where even a standard S300X1 might not fit.

The CNC-C00 control provides full 5-axis simultaneous interpolation with RTCP compensation. At $155,000-$210,000 new, the S300X1N serves production environments needing 5-axis capability in the smallest possible footprint. Used units from 2015-2020 trade between $70,000 and $130,000.
