Produce More for Less.Lower TCO with SPEEDIO. Lower TCO with SPEEDIO.
Rising energy and labor costs at manufacturing sites in Europe are driving up the
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), even after a machine is
installed.
This makes it essential to secure profitability and price competitiveness.
SPEEDIO Transforms Your Cost Structure
The More You Use SPEEDIO,
the More You Save
SPEEDIO reduces running costs, including maintenance, power, and compressed air.
The higher the production volume, the greater the TCO
savings.
SPEEDIO also delivers excellent productivity.
Producing 100,000 units takes roughly three and a half
years with a BT40 MC, compared with around two years
with SPEEDIO.
- *This graph is based on rough calculations using inverter case machining as the model case.
- *Calculations for both BT40 and BT30 MC assume the same tool life.
- *This graph is based on calculations assuming 8 hours of operation a day and 20 days of operation a month.
- *The figures used in these calculations are based on market prices in the European and Japanese markets for each item.
- *Machine prices vary depending on specifications.

-
- Issue 1
- High-end BT40 machines offer superior machining
accuracy,
but have high initial costs.
-
- Issue 2
- Separating processes between high-end BT40 MC and basic BT40 MC increases operator man-hours.
A single SPEEDIO provides
a total
solution,
from roughing to finishing.
SPEEDIO's high-rigidity structure and high-output spindle deliver machining power that rivals that of a BT40 machine. It handles a wide variety of workpieces and enables process integration from roughing to finishing.

Customer Feedback
Here's what our customers have to say about SPEEDIO's machining accuracy.
-
-
It is possible to hold ±10 microns dimensional tolerance ‘comfortably’ on the SPEEDIO, even without climate control in the factory.
-
A difference that was noticeable immediately the U500Xd1 was installed was the better milled surface finish on components, which far surpasses any customer requirement received to date. Dimensional tolerances held are tight, down to below 10 microns, despite there being no temperature control in the factory.
Reduce Defects, Downtime, and Rework for More Stable Operations
SPEEDIO comes equipped with several functions to quickly
detect abnormalities and fluctuations in accuracy, such
as stuck chip detection, ATC
tool monitoring, machining load monitoring, and thermal distortion compensation.
These can reduce losses caused by machining defects and downtime.
5 Key Points on How SPEEDIO Helps Reduce TCO
POINT 01 Reduces Power/Air Consumption.
The highly efficient spindle motor, power regeneration, and energy-saving NC function reduce energy consumption during machining.
SPEEDIO reduces power consumption by approximately 89% compared with a competitor's BT40 MC.
- Air consumption*1
- Power consumption
- *1 Value when air converted to power
- *This is an example of an inverter case machined with SPEEDIO.
Power consumption can be confirmed using actual workpieces or those with similar materials, shapes, and machining conditions.
POINT 02 Shorten Cycle Times.
Faster spindle acceleration/deceleration, rapid tool changes, and simultaneous operations increase productivity even with limited equipment and personnel.
SPEEDIO reduces cycle times by approximately 30% compared with competitor's BT40 MC.
POINT 03 Maximizes factory floor space.
SPEEDIO reduces installation space by approximately 35% over typical BT40 machining centers. This means that approximately three SPEEDIO machines can be installed in the space required for two BT40 machines.
- *1 Includes S500Xd2 coolant tank.
- *2 Compared to BT40 vertical MC with equivalent travels
- *1 Includes S500Xd2 coolant tank.
- *2 Compared to BT40 vertical MC with equivalent travels
POINT 04 Reduces Tooling Costs.
The use of compact tool holders helps reduce tooling costs.
- *Tooling costs were estimated based on Japanese market prices.
- *1 EUR = 185.58 JPY
POINT 05 Lowers Maintenance Costs.
SPEEDIO's parts are compact and designed to be easy to replace, reducing parts costs and labor time.
- Maintenance costs
- Spindle parts cost
- *Spindle part costs and machine maintenance times were estimated based on European market conditions.
