Brother SPEEDIO R650X2

What the maker publishes about the current Brother SPEEDIO R650X2

The SPEEDIO R650X2 from Brother is a pallet changing compact machining center that takes No. 30 taper tools. Its two face changer, Brother's QT table, indexes the pallets 180 degrees on a turntable with no lift stroke and a sealed build, and a change takes 3.4 seconds; one face can be loaded while the spindle works on the other. Every face gives 800 x 400 mm of fixture area and carries 200 kg, and a parameter change raises that to 300 kg. Fixtures may stand 350 mm high and swing within 1,250 mm; a low table option lifts that limit to 420 mm, and a second option widens the swing to 1,300 mm. Travel along X is 650 mm, along Y 400 mm. Z depends on the magazine: 305 mm with 14 or 22 tools and 435 mm with 40, and those two builds weigh 3,500 kg and 4,000 kg. Its base spindle is a 10,000 min-1 unit, and the options are a 16,000 min-1 spindle and a spindle with more torque.

What the Brother SPEEDIO R650X2 is used for

Brother's R650X2 examples pair each part with a way of holding it: car oil pump bodies machined several at once, a motorbike crank case on a trunnion jig, and a car compressor housing on a tilting rotary table with two spindles.

What to check on a Brother SPEEDIO R650X2

• Control generation. The manufacturer specifies CNC-C00 for this model. Units we have tracked run 2020 to 2023; an early one may carry an older control or a retrofit.
• Spindle. The manufacturer gives a spindle speed of 10,000 min-1 (optional 16,000 min-1 or 10,000 min-1 high-torque). Run the spindle to top speed and listen for bearing noise.
• Spindle load. The manufacturer gives 10.1/7.0 kW (10,000 min-1 spindle, 10 min/continuous) of spindle power. Take a heavy cut and watch the load meter.
• Spindle taper. The manufacturer gives a spindle taper of 7/24 tapered No.30. Check it for fretting and that the drawbar holds a tool.
• Axes and way covers. The manufacturer gives X 650 mm and Y 400 mm of travel. Run each axis end to end and check the way covers.
• Rapids and ballscrews. The manufacturer gives a rapid traverse of 50 x 50 x 50 m/min. Measure the backlash on each axis.
• Tool changer. The manufacturer gives the tool capacity as 14 / 22 (40 on the 40-tool version). Cycle every pocket and watch for a hesitation.
• Pallet changer. The manufacturer gives a pallet size of 800 x 400 mm (per pallet face). Run a full pallet change, and count the pallets and fixtures that come with the machine.
• Table. The manufacturer gives a table load of 200 kg (max. 300 kg) (per pallet face; 300 kg after a parameter change). Check the table and its T-slots for damage.
• Rigging and floor. The manufacturer gives a machine weight of 3,500 kg (14 or 22 tool magazine) or 4,000 kg (40 tool magazine) and a floor space of 1,897 x 3,448 mm (14 or 22 tool magazine). Confirm the rigging route and the floor will take that.
