SW North America parent company Schwäbische Werkzeugmaschinen GmbH (SW) debuted two new products at EMO 2023: the two-spindle BA W03-22 CNC machining center and the BA profile, a new machine concept for machining profiles. Additionally, SW showcased its largest machine for machining battery housings, the BA space3.
Up to 30% Efficiency Increases for the Automotive Industry
"Productivity, flexibility, modularity and connectivity are the most important factors for SW North America when it comes to meeting challenges with efficient system solutions in the fast-growing field of eMobility, among others. The new BA W03-22 CNC machining center was created to achieve this," a company spokesperson said.
With its high precision and efficiency, the two-spindle BA W03-22 CNC machining center is suited for producing high-quality work products in medium and large series for the automotive industry. "Compared to a single-spindle machine, cycle times can be reduced many times over, ensuring maximum productivity," the spokesperson said.
"We have expanded the proven machine concept of the model 3 series to include a two-spindle, double-station machine, allowing for faster axis accelerations with the linear motors installed in the machine," said André Harter, Head of Marketing and Business Development, SW. "As a result, we achieve much more power and speed compared to a ball screw as in the BA 322 model, for instance, with 20% faster chip-to-chip times."
With 300 mm of travel, The BA W03-22 CNC machining center also positions in G0 30% faster than the BA 322, and it is the first from SW to be equipped with a Siemens Sinumerik One control.
Electric Vehicle Machining
"The BA profile machine concept can easily mill profiles of various materials up to a length of 2,500 mm for applications in the truck and automotive industries, among others," Harter said. "Featuring a compact design, the two-spindle machine has two operating areas and allows machining on two worktables per side. It can be loaded either via automation or ergonomically by hand."
SW's BA space3, the largest machine in the company's portfolio to date, is suited for machining large battery housings and numerous structural components needed for the growing e-vehicle market, as well as aerospace and agriculture.
