Brother Speedio M200X3

The Brother Speedio M200X3 is the compact multi-tasking mill-turn model in Brother's X3-generation Speedio lineup. It combines turning capability for parts up to 200 mm in diameter with full Speedio milling speed, all in a footprint smaller than most standalone lathes.

X/Y/Z travels are 200 x 440 x 305 mm. The milling spindle runs at 16,000 rpm with 6.0 kW on BT30 taper. A C-axis turning spindle handles parts up to 200 mm in diameter. The 21-tool turret delivers fast chip-to-chip changes consistent with other Speedio models.

Rapids are 50 m/min on X/Y and 56 m/min on Z. The CNC-C00 control handles C-axis interpolation and simultaneous mill-turn operations natively. Machine weight is approximately 2,900 kg.

The X3 generation delivers incremental servo and control improvements over the prior XD1 M200 model (M200Xd1). The compact footprint and combined mill-turn capability make the M200X3 a compelling choice for shops producing small to medium rotational parts that also require milled features.

The M200X3 competes with the Mazak Integrex i-100 and similar compact multitaskers but at a significantly lower price point.

New machines price $120,000-$165,000. Used units trade $55,000-$95,000.
