{"id":"brother-hu550xd1-5ax","model_id":"HU550Xd1-5AX","name":"Brother HU550Xd1-5AX","summary":"The Brother HU550Xd1-5AX is a horizontal machining centre built around a tilting rotary table that adds A and B rotary axes to the X, Y and Z linear axes, giving five simultaneously controlled axes. It carries a 30-tool magazine, a 12,000 min-1 spindle and a 400 mm diameter rotary table rated for 200 kg, allowing large workpieces to be machined in a single clamping. Five-axis functions including tool centre point control with look-ahead of up to 1,000 blocks are included on this model.","study_notes":["Tilting rotary table: 400 mm diameter work area, A axis 30 to -120 deg, B axis 360 deg; max table load inertia 4.1 kg·m2 (8.8 kg·m2 in high inertia mode).","A axis uses tandem control with two motors; roller gear cam mechanism is used on both A and B axes.","Indexing feed rate: A axis 50 min-1, B axis 75 min-1 (60 min-1 in high inertia mode); indexing time for 90 deg is 1.2 s on both axes.","Clamping torque: A axis 1,200 N·m, B axis 700 N·m (mechanical clamp at 0.5 MPa pneumatic plus servo clamp).","Main spindle motor (10 min/continuous): 12,000 min-1 spec 10.1/7.0 kW; 10,000 min-1 high-torque option 12.8/9.2 kW; 20,000 min-1 option 7.4/5.1 kW.","Spindle torque/output: standard 12,000 min-1 40 N·m / 18.9 kW; optional high-torque 92 N·m / 26.2 kW; optional 20,000 min-1 27 N·m / 15.4 kW.","Tool shank MAS-BT30, pull stud MAS-P30T-2; max tool length 350 mm, max tool diameter 125 mm, max tool weight 4.0 kg (total tool weight 50 kg).","Tool change time: tool-to-tool 1.3 s, chip-to-chip 2.5 s; tool selection is random shortcut method.","Accuracy and repeatability (ISO 230-2): bidirectional positioning X, Y, Z 0.006~0.020 mm, A/B 28 sec or less; repeatability X, Y, Z less than 0.004 mm, A/B 16 sec or less.","CNC unit CNC-D00v (DB) on the HU550Xd1-5AX; 5 control axes, linear interpolation up to 5 axes, 15-inch colour LCD touch display, 3 GB memory, OPC UA standard.","Optional network interfaces: CC-Link master/remote device station, PROFIBUS DP slave, DeviceNet slave, PROFINET slave, EtherNet/IP slave; USB, Ethernet and optional RS232C external communication.","Machine height 2,682 mm, required floor space 1,557 x 2,744 mm (3,582 mm with control unit door open), installation space 5.0 m2 including coolant tank; air supply 0.4-0.6 MPa at 45 L/min."],"safety_notes":["Maximum tool length, diameter and weight are subject to limitations depending on spindle speed, tool geometry or centre of gravity; the listed figures are for reference only.","When attaching an adjacent tool, the total diameter of a tool and its adjacent tool must be less than 130 mm.","Regular air pressure varies with machine specifications, machining program and peripheral equipment; set the pressure higher than the recommended 0.5 MPa.","An interference area is created depending on tool length or tool diameter.","Stuck chips caught between spindle and holder during ATC are detected without a sensor, and a retry function is provided to prevent outflow of defects.","A relocation detection device must be fitted depending on the destination; such machines carry the RD suffix in the model name."],"sources":[{"url":"https://machinetool.global.brother/en-us/all-products/huxd1/hu550xd1-5ax","title":"HU550Xd1-5AX | Machine Tools | Brother","accessed":"2026-10-25"}],"verification":{"status":"source_checked","checked_at":"2026-10-25","values":16,"method":"llm_source_check"},"updated_at":"2026-10-25","type":"hardware","spec":{"category":"cnc_mill","manufacturer":"brother","controllers":[],"axes":5,"weight_kg":3150,"travel_x_mm":550,"travel_y_mm":500,"travel_z_mm":400,"spindle_max_rpm":12000,"spindle_taper":"MAS-BT30","rapid_traverse_m_min":56,"tool_capacity":30,"table_load_kg":200,"supply_voltage":"200 to 230 VAC ±10%, 3-phase, 50/60 Hz ±2%","joints":[{"name":"A","range_min_deg":-120,"range_max_deg":30}],"protocols":["opc-ua"],"standards":[],"error_codes":[]},"url":"https://machineschema.com/hardware/brother-hu550xd1-5ax","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"}
