Information
Overview
Advantages of utilizing the HU550Xd1
[1] Enables machining of large/long workpieces within less space.
[2] Achieves highly accurate machining with one-time chucking through process integration
[3] Easily adapts to production fluctuations or variations in workpiece geometry.
A large tilting rotary table is mounted, providing an ample jig area of ø680 mm x 400 mm. Even when the A-axis is tilted 90 degrees, sufficient machining range and tool accessibility are ensured. The combination of the tilting rotary table and ample jig area can easily adapt to future variations in workpiece geometry.
* Interference area is created depending on the tool length or tool diameter.
Max. loading capacity 200 kg
While enabling mounting of large workpieces, the space-saving design makes factory machinery layout easier and maximizes the effective use of installation space.

*1. Dimension including coolant tank
*2. Compared to BT40 horizontal MC with equivalent travels
Brother’s original large tilting rotary table with a roller gear cam mechanism and tandem control, achieving both high speed and high accuracy.
Max. indexing feed rate
A-axis 50 min-1
B-axis 75 min-1
Indexing time (90 deg.)
A-axis 1.2 s

Rotary gear cam mechanism
A roller gear cam mechanism is used for A and B axes, achieving both high speed and high accuracy. In addition, the maximum loading capacity of the ø400 mm table is 200 kg.
Tandem control
Tandem control using two motors is used for the A-axis. This suppresses distortion in the large tilting rotary table, enabling high-speed indexing.
Equipped with the direct ATC type 30-tool magazine. Supports maximum tool length of 350 mm, maximum tool diameter of 125 mm, and maximum tool weight of 4 kg, enabling a variety of machining, including long workpieces.
A 20,000 min-1 spindle motor has been newly developed. Compatible with Coolant Trough Spindle (CTS), it further enhances productivity in small-diameter drilling.
Various spindle motor specifications are available for different applications, including the standard 12,000 min-1 spec. and high-torque spec.
High-torque spec. (optional)
Max. torque 92 N·m
Max. output 26.2 kW
20,000 min-1 spec. (optional)
Max. torque 27 N·m
Max. output 15.4 kW
12,000 min-1 spec. (standard)
Max. torque 40 N·m
Max. output 18.9 kW
Both A and B axes are provided with high clamping torque, demonstrating high retention strength even in high-load machining. Machining with more stringent cutting conditions is possible, improving production efficiency.
A-axis clamping torque *3 1,200 N·m
B-axis clamping torque *3 700 N·m
*3. Value of mechanical clamp (at pneumatic 0.5 MPa) plus servo clamp
The CTS option can be selected from 3 MPa or 7 MPa. With this option, the machine can operate to its fullest potential in high-speed drilling or deep-hole drilling.
*4. 3 MPa/7 MPa CTS are compatible with all spindle motor specifications.
Both high speed and high rigidity of the machine have been achieved by optimizing the cast geometry utilizing CAE analyses. The high-torque spindle features the SPEEDIO’s largest bearing diameter. With these improvements, the machine demonstrates high machining capabilities from highly efficient machining to heavy-duty machining.
Vibration adjustment analyzes waveform data using a PC app to suggest the recommended spindle speed. Optimal machining conditions drive machining performance to the fullest.
Leveraging the standard-equipped tilting rotary table, the simultaneous 5-axis machining function can be easily implemented. Equipped with various functions, including tool center point control, the machine can achieve high-speed and highly accurate simultaneous 5-axis machining, combined with the 20,000 min-1 specification.
*5. Available only on the HU550Xd1-5AX
Tool center point control
Equipped with tool center point control where machining is performed by changing the tool direction relative to the workpiece. Optimal acceleration/deceleration is ensured by look-ahead for up to 1,000 blocks
Utilizing horizontal machine features and various other functions, the machine demonstrates high chip evacuation.
Center trough structure
The inclined base and the center trough structure effectively evacuate chips that fall on the base to the outside of the machine.
Head shower (optional) *6
A head shower is available to remove chips from the spindle head.
*6. Included with the coolant nozzle (optional).
Magazine cover ATC shutter
The magazine is separated from the machining chamber by a shutter to minimize the effect of chips on tools.
Chip conveyor (optional)
The hinge and scraper type chip conveyor with drum filter evacuates chips in a variety of sizes and shapes.
Chips caught between the spindle and the holder during ATC are detected without using a sensor. Detecting any stuck chips during ATC prevents the outflow of defects. A retry function is also provided.
Two 400W pumps and optimal piping layout ensure high chip evacuation.
Chip evacuation rate *7
Approx. 98%
*7. Value based on our in-house tests
The number of discharge holes and the angle of these holes have been optimized to significantly increase the discharge flowrate. This has resulted in a threefold increase in cleaning capacity, compared to the previous system. When CTS is selected, coolant for tool cleaning is discharged from the CTS pump, consuming less air than air-assisted tool cleaning.
By utilizing the advantages of machine/controller integrated development, high-speed tool change has been achieved by fast acceleration/deceleration and optimized operation.
Tool change time
Tool - Tool: 1.3s
Chip - Chip: 2.5s
The operation panel is located on the side of the machine to improve visibility into the machining chamber, making setup easier. With a wider front door opening, the table can be tilted toward the operator to enhance accessibility, allowing them to change workpieces in a comfortable posture.
Intuitive operation is possible with apps and the vertical touch panel screen. Relevant functions are grouped according to purpose, such as setup and machining, leading to efficient operation. Production and operation states are visualized, allowing faster understanding. Streamlined operation is possible in setup, machining adjustment, production, and recovery processes, leading to improved work efficiency and operating rate.
Setup support
Equipped with functions to easily perform setup, such as an ATC tool app that enables all magazine tool settings to be performed on one screen, menu programming that enables you to create NC programs by following instructions on the screen, and an on-screen help function.
Machining adjustment support
Equipped with functions to easily perform optimal machining adjustment to improve productivity, such as a machining parameter adjustment app that enables you to easily adjust parameters according to machining details and a machining load waveform display/saving function.
Production support
Equipped with functions to improve the operating rate, such as real time tool monitoring to eliminate defects, displaying production performance, power consumption etc. as a graph, and PLC/network functions to meet peripheral equipment and automation requirements.
Recovery support
Equipped with functions to prevent failure or ensure quick recovery, such as maintenance time notice, displaying details when an alarm occurs, and guidance for recovery/check work.
