Brother S500Xd1

The Brother S500Xd1 is a vertical CNC machining center with a 600 x 400 mm table and 500 mm X-axis, 450 mm Y-axis, and 300 mm Z-axis travels. It uses the CNC-D00 control, has a standard 10,000 min-1 spindle with optional 16,000 or 27,000 min-1 spindles, and accepts 14-, 21-, or 28-tool magazines. It performs milling, drilling, and tapping on small and medium workpieces.

Study notes

  • Controller is CNC-D00; the -5AX variants use CNC-D00v (DB).
  • Control axes: 5 (X, Y, Z, and 2 rotary axes). Base S500Xd1 interpolation: linear up to 4 axes (X, Y, Z, 1 rotary), circular 2 axes, helical/conical 3 axes.
  • Tool storage capacities: 14, 21, or 28 tools. The 28-tool magazine is not available on S300Xd1.
  • Tool change times: tool-to-tool 0.6 s for 14/21 tools and 0.7 s for 28 tools; chip-to-chip 1.2 s for 14/21 tools and 1.3 s for 28 tools.
  • Standard spindle speed range is 1-10,000 min-1; optional 16,000 min-1, 27,000 min-1, and 10,000 min-1 high-torque spindles are listed. Main spindle motor 10,000 min-1 rating: 10.1/7.1 kW (10 min/continuous).
  • Rapid traverse rates are X/Y/Z 50/50/56 m/min; cutting feed rate is 1-30,000 mm/min when using high accuracy mode B.
  • Table loading capacity is listed as 250 kg standard and 400 kg with parameter change; parameter adjustment also changes acceleration and positioning speed.
  • Max tool weight is 3.0 kg per tool; 4.0 kg per tool requires parameter change. Total tool weight limits: 25 kg for 14 tools, 35 kg for 21 or 28 tools.
  • Bidirectional positioning accuracy is 0.006-0.020 mm (ISO230-2:1988); bidirectional repeatability is less than 0.004 mm (ISO230-2:2014).
  • Program memory: 500 MB standard or 3 GB optional; 3 GB standard on -5AX variants. Up to 4,000 registrable programs.
  • OPC UA is listed; PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, PROFIBUS DP, DeviceNet, and CC-Link are listed as optional slave interfaces.
  • Required air supply: 0.4-0.6 MPa (recommended 0.5 MPa), 45 L/min; 27,000 min-1 specification requires 115 L/min.

Safety

  • Coolant Through Spindle (CTS) cannot be selected for 27,000 min-1 specification models.
  • Table loading capacity above 250 kg requires parameter change; maximum listed is 400 kg.
  • Tool weight above 3.0 kg per tool requires parameter change; maximum listed is 4.0 kg per tool, with total tool weight limits of 25 kg for 14 tools or 35 kg for 21/28 tools.
  • Regular air pressure varies with machine specifications, machining program, and peripheral equipment; set pressure higher than the recommended 0.5 MPa.
  • A relocation detection device is required depending on destination; machines equipped with it have RD at the end of the model name.
