Brother’s Game-Changer: The Speedio U500Xd2 with 100-Tool Magazine

What could you achieve with 100 tools in your magazine? For many manufacturers, the answer is game-changing productivity.

This week, MTDCNC’s Tom Skubala and Elliott Wright travelled to Germany to visit Nomura Trading Co., Ltd. – Frankfurt Branch, where Brother has unveiled its latest innovation: the Speedio U500Xd2 – 5AX/100T.

A New Benchmark in Machining

The Brother Speedio U500Xd2 is no ordinary machining centre. It brings together high-end capability, smart automation, and speed in one impressive package:

• ✔️ 5-axis capability for tackling complex geometries
• ✔️ 100-tool magazine, dramatically reducing downtime caused by manual tool changes
• ✔️ 20,000 RPM spindle for efficient machining across a wide range of materials
• ✔️ Integrated EROWA automation system for lights-out production

“This machine isn’t just about speed, it’s about smart machining,” says Tom Skubala.
“With 100 tools on tap, users are able to keep machining without interruptions – perfect for shops dealing with multi-variant parts, complex components, or difficult-to-machine materials.”

Built for Lights-Out Manufacturing

Pairing the U500Xd2 with EROWA AG automation transforms the machine into a true lights-out solution. Manufacturers can keep productivity high even when the lights are off, maximising spindle uptime and pushing throughput to new levels.
