Overview

The Brother Speedio W1000Xd2 is Brother's current long-table BT30 machine: 1,000 x 500 x 380 mm (39.4 x 19.7 x 15.0 in) of travel, a 1,100 x 500 mm (43.3 x 19.7 in) table, a 12,000 rpm standard spindle and the CNC-D00 control. Compared with the earlier long-table versions, it gains Z stroke, table capacity and a larger magazine.

Z is the most useful change. With 380 mm (15.0 in) of travel, the spindle nose reaches from 150 to 530 mm (5.9 to 20.9 in) above the table, where the Speedio W1000Xd1 offers 300 mm (11.8 in) of Z and 180 to 480 mm (7.1 to 18.9 in). That headroom lets a rotary table, a tombstone-style fixture or taller castings go under the spindle without giving up tool length.

The table takes 300 kg (661 lb) as standard and 500 kg (1,102 lb) with the option, the highest rating among the Brother machines it is listed alongside. Spread over 1,100 mm, that suits several steel vises or a fourth axis with a loaded fixture plate. The magazine is offered with 14, 21 or 28 tools; tool to tool is 0.6 sec on the 14 and 21 tool versions and 0.7 sec on the 28, while chip to chip is 1.3 sec or 1.4 sec.

Spindle choices are 12,000 rpm as standard, a high-torque 10,000 rpm version and a 20,000 rpm option, rated 10.1 kW for 10 minutes and 7.0 kW continuous. Tapping runs to 6,000 rpm. Dual-contact tooling and through-spindle coolant are options.

Before delivery, check the ceiling: the machine is 2,633 mm (103.7 in) tall. It weighs 3,350 kg (7,385 lb), occupies 2,410 x 2,233 mm (94.9 x 87.9 in), and needs 10.4 kVA from a 200 to 230 V 3-phase supply plus 45 L/min of air at 0.4 to 0.6 MPa.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

380 mm (15.0 in) of Z with 150 to 530 mm (5.9 to 20.9 in) from spindle nose to table
Optional 500 kg (1,102 lb) table load on a 1,100 x 500 mm (43.3 x 19.7 in) table
Magazine of 14, 21 or 28 tools, with 0.6 sec tool to tool on the 14 and 21 tool versions

Positioning accuracy of 0.006 - 0.020 mm (0.00024 - 0.00079 in) over a 1,000 mm (39.4 in) X stroke

Limitations

At 2,633 mm (103.7 in) tall it needs more headroom than the Speedio W1000Xd1 at 2,553 mm (100.5 in)
The fastest spindle option is 20,000 rpm, and tapping is listed at 6,000 rpm
Continuous spindle output of 7.0 kW limits heavy roughing in steel
Chip to chip rises to 1.4 sec with the 28-tool magazine

Best For

Long parts and multi-vise production on a 1,100 mm (43.3 in) table Fourth-axis and fixture-plate work using 380 mm (15.0 in) of Z Heavier fixtures within the 500 kg (1,102 lb) optional table rating Part families needing up to 28 tools

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is different between the W1000Xd2 and the Speedio W1000Xd1?

The Speedio W1000Xd1 has 300 mm (11.8 in) of Z, a 10,000 rpm standard spindle with a 16,000 rpm option, 14 or 21 tools and a 400 kg (881.8 lb) optional table load. The W1000Xd2 has 380 mm (15.0 in) of Z, a 12,000 rpm standard spindle with a 20,000 rpm option, up to 28 tools and a 500 kg (1,102 lb) option. X, Y and the table size are the same.

02 How tall a part or setup fits under the spindle?

The spindle nose travels from 150 to 530 mm (5.9 to 20.9 in) above the table. Subtract the tool length, up to 250 mm (9.8 in), and the fixture height to see what fits. The extra Z over the Speedio W1000Xd1, which has 300 mm (11.8 in), is what makes a rotary table practical here.

03 How many tools does the W1000Xd2 hold, and how fast does it change them?

14, 21 or 28 tools. Tool to tool is 0.6 sec with 14 or 21 tools and 0.7 sec with 28; chip to chip is 1.3 sec or 1.4 sec respectively. Tools are MAS-BT30 with MAS-P30T-2 pull studs, up to 110 mm (4.3 in) in diameter and 3.0 kg (6.6 lb).

04 What does the W1000Xd2 need on site?

Power capacity of 10.4 kVA on a 200 to 230 V 3-phase supply, and 45 L/min of air at 0.4 to 0.6 MPa. The machine weighs 3,350 kg (7,385 lb), occupies 2,410 x 2,233 mm (94.9 x 87.9 in) and is 2,633 mm (103.7 in) tall, so measure door openings and ceiling height first.
