Brother SPEEDIO S700X1N

The Brother SPEEDIO S700X1N is a narrow-body variant of the S700X1 high-speed vertical machining center, delivering the same 700 mm X-travel in a reduced-width enclosure for production lines where machine spacing is constrained. The N (Narrow) designation indicates an optimized machine width that enables tighter placement in multi-machine cells and inline production configurations.

The S700X1N provides 700 x 400 x 305 mm (27.6 x 15.7 x 12.0 in) X/Y/Z travels — identical to the standard S700X1 — with a 10,000 RPM standard spindle on BT30 taper and optional 16,000 RPM high-speed configuration. Rapid traverse rates of 50 m/min on X/Y and 48 m/min on Z maintain the Speedio platform's speed advantage. The 14 or 21-tool turret ATC delivers sub-second chip-to-chip tool changes.

The narrow-body design reorganizes internal components to reduce the overall machine width without sacrificing work envelope, rigidity, or performance. This is essential in automotive and electronics production environments where existing line spacings were designed for older, smaller machines and adding modern high-speed capability must fit within those fixed constraints.

At $110,000-$170,000 new, the S700X1N provides the same performance as the standard S700X1 in a space-optimized package. The CNC-C00 control provides identical programming compatibility with all other Speedio machines, and the BT30 tooling platform keeps tooling investment low. Used S700X1N units from 2015-2020 trade between $50,000 and $95,000.
