Solves Waste at Production Sites SPEEDIO Blue Technology

Cutting Out the Waste

There are many types of waste in cutting processes.

Our original NC control (machine/controller integrated development) makes operation at work sites easier,
drives machine performance to the fullest, and eliminates all possible waste through optimized control.

SPEEDIO eliminates all these waste elements and contributes to your profitability and reduction in
global environmental impact.

Wasted time reduction

Wasted time is reduced by minimizing non-cutting time in the machining cycle time and reducing setup time and downtime.

Cycle time (Recovery Support, Setup Support)

Reduction in cycle time

Non-stop ATC

High-speed tool change has been achieved by faster and optimized spindle start/stop, Z-axis up/down, and magazine operation.

Wasted resource reduction

Wasted recourses are reduced by using machining adjustment support that prevents cutting defects and production support such as real-time monitoring.

Production Support, Adjustment Support, Recovery Support

Defect reduction / Preventive maintenance

Realtime monitoring to avoid defects

Machining load applied to the spindle is monitored to issue an alarm when the load is not within the preset range.

Wasted energy reduction

Optimal design eliminates all waste, including excessive power consumption and air flowrate, achieving industry-leading energy-saving performance.

Power consumption. vs. BT40 machining center -80%

Saving power

Highly efficient spindle motor

Brother’s original high acceleration/deceleration type synchronous motor provides fast response to rotation and stop, achieving highly efficient cutting with less power.

Wasted installation space reduction

Compact design reduces wasted space with less restrictions on installation locations.

Compact design

Compact design allows machines to be installed efficiently even in limited space. When building a new factory, the floor space can be reduced, which requires less lighting and air conditioning, leading to factory-wide energy saving.

Installation space 4.7m2 (Approx 20% less)

The Value of Promoting Energy Saving

Companies’ efforts to promote energy saving bring a variety of values for their business operations.

Enhancement of corporate image and value

Amid global calls for carbon neutrality, promoting energy saving and contributing to decarbonization will lead to an increase in corporate value.
In addition, there is a trend toward valuing decarbonization efforts, which can lead to improved evaluation by business partners and enhanced corporate competitiveness.

Economic advantages

Energy consumption can be reduced by the introduction of highly efficient equipment, which can lower running costs.

Production quantity per day: 200 pcs.
