Overview

The Brother SPEEDIO S700Xd2-100T is a high-capacity variant of the S700Xd2 platform that replaces the standard 21-tool turret with a 100-tool magazine. This dramatically expands the machine's capability for complex, multi-operation parts and high-mix production where tool variety is the bottleneck. The S700Xd2-100T retains all the high-speed DNA of the Speedio platform while eliminating the tool count constraint that has historically limited Speedios to simpler programs.

The S700Xd2-100T provides 700 x 450 x 380 mm (27.6 x 17.7 x 15.0 in) X/Y/Z travels -- notably more Y-travel (450 mm vs 400 mm) and Z-travel (380 mm vs 305 mm) than the standard S700Xd2. The spindle runs at 12,000 RPM standard with optional 10,000 RPM high-torque or 20,000 RPM high-speed configurations on a BT30 taper. Rapid traverse rates of 50/50/56 m/min on X/Y/Z maintain the Speedio's characteristic speed advantage.

The 100-tool magazine uses a 28-position turret combined with 36-position left and right tool racks, providing massive tool capacity without sacrificing the fast tool change speed that defines the Speedio line. The compact 2,050 x 2,081 mm footprint is remarkably small for a 100-tool VMC, making the S700Xd2-100T practical for shops that need high tool capacity but cannot accommodate a full-size 40-taper machine.

At $150,000-$210,000 new, the S700Xd2-100T fills a unique niche: shops that love the Speedio's speed and compact footprint but need far more tools than the standard 21-position turret can provide. It competes with larger 40-taper VMCs on tool capacity while maintaining the BT30 speed advantage for aluminum and light-alloy production.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

100-tool magazine eliminates the tool count limitation that restricts standard 21-tool Speedios on complex programs
700 mm X-travel and 450 mm Y-travel provide a generous work envelope for the Speedio platform
Compact 2,050 x 2,081 mm footprint is remarkably small for a 100-tool VMC
Multiple spindle speed options (10K/12K/20K RPM) allow optimization for specific materials and operations
Retains Speedio-class rapid traverse speeds of 50/50/56 m/min for minimal non-cutting time
BT30 platform enables high-speed aluminum production with lower tooling costs than BT40/HSK machines

Limitations

BT30 taper limits cutting forces for heavy steel and titanium roughing applications
12,000 RPM standard spindle is slower than the 16,000 RPM on the standard S700Xd2
380 mm Z-travel is adequate but not generous for deep-cavity or tall-fixture applications
100-tool magazine adds complexity and potential maintenance compared to the simple 21-tool turret

Best For

High-mix production shops running diverse aluminum parts requiring many different tools per setup Automotive component manufacturers processing families of related parts with shared tooling across programs Medical device manufacturers with complex multi-operation parts requiring 50+ unique tools per program Job shops seeking Speedio speed with the tool capacity to handle complex one-off and short-run work Robotic cells where 100-tool capacity enables extended unattended operation across multiple part numbers

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How does the S700Xd2-100T differ from the standard S700Xd2?

The 100T replaces the 21-tool turret with a 100-tool magazine (28 turret + 72 rack positions). It also has more Y-travel (450 vs 400 mm) and Z-travel (380 vs 305 mm). The standard model has a 16,000 RPM spindle while the 100T has a 12,000 RPM standard spindle with optional 20,000 RPM upgrade.

02 What does a Brother SPEEDIO S700Xd2-100T cost?

New machines typically price between $150,000 and $210,000 depending on spindle configuration and options. This is a modest premium over the standard S700Xd2 for nearly five times the tool capacity.

03 Is the tool change speed the same as the standard Speedio?

The 28-position turret maintains fast tool changes for the most frequently used tools. Accessing tools from the 36-position racks takes slightly longer as tools must be transferred to the turret first, but overall cycle impact is minimal for well-optimized programs.

04 Can the S700Xd2-100T cut steel?

Yes, the BT30 spindle handles mild and medium carbon steel effectively, particularly with the optional 10,000 RPM high-torque spindle. Heavy roughing in hard steels is limited by the BT30 interface. The machine excels in aluminum, brass, plastics, and light ferrous alloys.
