Overview

The Brother Speedio W1000Xd2 is the largest Speedio, extending X-axis to 1,000 mm for shops needing bigger parts without giving up high-speed DNA. It bridges compact Speedios and full-size production VMCs.

X/Y/Z travels are 1,000 x 500 x 300 mm with a 16,000 rpm BT30 spindle at 7.5 kW. The 22-tool turret delivers 1.4-second chip-to-chip changes -- slower than smaller Speedios but fast by industry standards.

Rapids reach 56 m/min on X/Z, 50 m/min on Y. Table capacity is 400 kg, the highest in the Speedio lineup. Positioning accuracy +/- 0.005 mm, repeatability +/- 0.003 mm.

At 5,200 kg, it is heavier than other Speedios but lighter than 40-taper VMCs with similar travel. Footprint is 2,450 x 2,700 mm.

No other manufacturer offers 1,000mm X-travel with a turret tool changer and BT30 tooling. This combination is unique to Brother.

New machines price $150,000-$200,000. Used trade $80,000-$130,000 when available.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

  • 1,000 mm X-travel unmatched in compact high-speed VMCs
  • 400 kg table supports substantial fixturing
  • Retains Speedio high-speed DNA with 56 m/min rapids
  • 1.4s turret changes still fast by industry standards
  • Lighter than 40-taper VMCs with similar travel
  • 22-tool magazine adds one pocket over standard Speedios

Limitations

  • BT30 on a 1,000mm platform may feel underpowered for steel
  • 1.4s tool change slower than 0.9s on smaller Speedios
  • Positioning accuracy looser than smaller Speedios
  • Z-axis 300 mm is shortest in Speedio range
  • Limited used market
05

Best For

Long parts exceeding 700mm at high speed Automotive elongated housings and rails Multi-part tombstone setups across 1,000mm Replacing full-size VMCs where speed matters more than power Large enclosures and chassis Long aluminum extrusion machining

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Cost?

New $150,000-$200,000. Used $80,000-$130,000.

02 vs smaller Speedios?

1,000mm X, 400 kg table, 1.4s tool change. Same spindle/control.

03 Why BT30 at 1,000mm?

For aluminum, BT30 provides enough power with faster changes and lower weight.

04 Automation?

Yes, robotic loading like all Speedios.

05 Tool capacity?

22-position turret.
