{"id":"brother-s500xd2-5ax","model_id":"S500Xd2-5AX","name":"Brother S500Xd2-5AX","summary":"The Brother S500Xd2-5AX is a vertical CNC machining center in the SPEEDIO series with 5-axis control. It has 500 mm X-axis, 450 mm Y-axis and 300 mm Z-axis travel, a 600 × 450 mm table, and a standard 12,000 min⁻¹ spindle. It uses the CNC-D00v(DB) control and supports simultaneous 5-axis machining.","study_notes":["The CNC-D00v(DB) control provides tool center point control with look-ahead up to 1,000 blocks for simultaneous 5-axis machining.","Control axes are 5 (X, Y, Z, plus 2 additional axes); the 5AX control allows linear interpolation over 5 axes.","Standard Z-axis travel is 300 mm; a 380 mm Z-axis option is available.","The standard 12,000 min⁻¹ spindle is listed with 18.9 kW maximum output; main spindle motor ratings are 10.1 kW for 10 min and 7.0 kW continuous.","Optional spindle speeds listed for the S500Xd2-5AX are 10,000 min⁻¹ high-torque and 20,000 min⁻¹; the product specification also lists a 27,000 min⁻¹ option.","Tool storage capacity is listed as 14, 21, or 28 tools; maximum tool diameter is 110 mm and maximum tool weight is 3.0 kg (4.0 kg with parameter change).","Tool-to-tool change time is 0.6 s for 14/21 tools and 0.7 s for 28 tools; chip-to-chip is 1.2 s or 1.3 s for Z-axis 300 mm.","Positioning accuracy is 0.006–0.020 mm and bidirectional repeatability is less than 0.004 mm under ISO 230-2.","Power capacity is 10.4 kVA continuous; air supply is 0.4–0.6 MPa at 40 L/min.","OPC UA is listed under standard automatic/network functions; optional fieldbus slaves include PROFINET and EtherNet/IP, plus CC-Link, PROFIBUS DP, and DeviceNet.","The table work area is 600 × 450 mm with a maximum uniform load of 250 kg (300 kg with parameter adjustment).","Depending on destination, a relocation detection device may be required and models with it carry the RD suffix."],"safety_notes":["A safety fence is required when the optional side shutter is used for robot loading/unloading from the side.","The 27,000 min⁻¹ spindle option cannot be selected on Z-axis 380 mm models and cannot be combined with CTS; the 4.0 kg maximum tool weight setting is not available on 27,000 min⁻¹ specifications.","Set the regular air pressure higher than the recommended 0.5 MPa; the document states regular air pressure varies with machine specifications, machining program, and peripheral equipment."],"sources":[{"url":"https://machinetool.global.brother/en-us/all-products/sxd2/s500xd2-5ax","title":"S500Xd2-5AX | 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":2400,"travel_x_mm":500,"travel_y_mm":450,"travel_z_mm":300,"spindle_max_rpm":12000,"spindle_power_kw":18.9,"spindle_taper":"MAS-BT30","rapid_traverse_m_min":56,"tool_capacity":28,"table_length_mm":600,"table_width_mm":450,"table_load_kg":250,"supply_voltage":"AC 200 to 230 V±10%, 3-phase, 50/60Hz±2%","joints":[],"protocols":["opc-ua"],"standards":[],"error_codes":[]},"url":"https://machineschema.com/hardware/brother-s500xd2-5ax","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"}
