Brother Machine Tools HU Series

Brother's SPEEDIO HU Series is represented by the HU550Xd1, a horizontal universal compact machining center with a tilting rotary table. It provides 550 x 500 x 400 mm linear travels, a 680 mm jig swing area, 30-tool storage, and either indexed or simultaneous five-axis configurations.

Company overview

Brother's SPEEDIO HU Series is represented by the HU550Xd1, a horizontal universal compact machining center with a tilting rotary table. It provides 550 x 500 x 400 mm linear travels, a 680 mm jig swing area, 30-tool storage, and either indexed or simultaneous five-axis configurations.

Industries and applications

  • Tilting rotary table provides a jig swing area up to 680 mm.
  • Work area and allowable load depend on table angle, fixture geometry, spindle, and selected five-axis configuration.
  • The horizontal spindle orientation improves chip evacuation and access to large or long multi-face workpieces.

Technical and quote details

  • X travel: 21.7 in / 550 mm.
  • Y travel: 19.7 in / 500 mm.
  • Z travel: 15.7 in / 400 mm.
  • A travel: 30 to -120 degrees.
  • B travel: 360 degrees.
  • Spindle interface: 7/24 taper No.30; BT dual-contact spindle is configuration dependent.
  • Spindle speed: 12,000 rpm standard; 10,000 rpm high-torque and 20,000 rpm options.
  • Spindle power: 40 N-m / 18.9 kW standard package; optional packages differ.
  • Tool capacity: 30 tools.
  • Control: Brother CNC-D00.
  • Control: Five controlled axes.
  • Control: Tool-center-point control and simultaneous five-axis capability on HU550Xd1-5AX.

Selection notes

Variables to validate

  • HU550Xd1 and HU550Xd1-5AX have different simultaneous-control capabilities.
  • Fixture swing, tool length, table angle, and workpiece center of gravity govern the usable five-axis envelope.
  • Record the full model suffix, spindle, coolant, control, probing, and automation package.
