SW North America’s BA W08-12 is designed for machining large workpieces made of aluminum and other nonferrous materials. The machine features one spindle, two worktables and a work area of 1500 × 900 × 650 mm on the X-, Y- and Z-axis.
Direct drive technology in all axes is said to provide optimal acceleration and speed (up to 2 g and 120 m/min), and the independent X- and Z-axes increase flexibility and accuracy. Both 4- and 5-axis machining can be performed with ease, the company says.
The large machining area makes it well suited for machining workpieces for the automotive, EV, aerospace, agriculture, construction industries and more.
Efficiency can be increased even further by integrating one of SW’s modularly expandable automation solutions. The company says its FloorRob, TopRob, Robot Gantry and MobileRob AGV are all reliable automation possibilities to increase productivity and eliminate the ergonomic challenges of large workpieces.
This machine is also available as a twin-spindle model with one worktable or as part of SW’s new single-table series with one worktable and one or two spindles.
