At the AMB, SW is showcasing cross-sector, modular and flexible solutions for modern manufacturing environments<\/p>\n

Art of Engineering live at the AMB: cross-sector solutions for small and large-scale production <\/strong><\/p>\n

Waldm\u00f6ssingen, 22 June 2026 \u2013 At this year\u2019s AMB in Stuttgart, Schw\u00e4bische Werkzeugmaschinen GmbH (SW) is presenting innovative solutions for the future of manufacturing on its stand C51 in Hall 10. Several exhibits will be in focus: The BA 342 will be showcased with workpieces from the medical technology and humanoid robotics sectors, demonstrating its potential applications in the demanding industries of the future. It is complemented by the new BF 15-21D machine model for the flexible machining of complex components. At the same time, SW is responding to the trend towards die-cast aluminum body parts in the automotive industry with the BF 15-21D machining center. In addition, the S-cell\u00ae mobile robot cell will be presented as a solution for flexible production concepts; thanks to autonomous navigation, it can move as required between machining centers and peripheral equipment.<\/p>\n

At the AMB, SW is demonstrating its holistic understanding of production. Machines, automation and intelligent software are combined to form complete system concepts. These result in manufacturing solutions that adapt flexibly to new demands and enable consistently high productivity even with changing parts.<\/p>\n

\u201cSW is presenting more than just a technological concept \u2013 it is once again demonstrating its Art of Engineering. We combine an in-depth understanding of processes and technological expertise with a commitment to developing the best solution for every application,\u201d says Elias Metzger, Head of Marketing at SW.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Fast, sustainable, efficient: the BA 342 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Maximum output per unit of floor space combined with energy efficiency: that is what the BA 342 four-spindle machining center stands for. Its field of application covers 4-axis and 5-axis machining of workpieces made from a wide variety of materials. Four spindles machine four workpieces simultaneously. Four finished parts are therefore produced in the cycle time for one single part. That ensures maximum output and high efficiency, as all the machining steps are carried out in parallel, reducing chip-to-chip times.<\/p>\n

The double swivel carrier also enables workpieces to be loaded and unloaded in parallel to the machining time, thereby further boosting productivity. Its open and universal interface makes the machine fully automation-ready and compatible with all solutions available on the market. Rapid ramp-up curves enable a swift start of production and make the machine particularly suitable for continuous series production.<\/p>\n

With parts from the medical technology and humanoid robotics sectors, SW is demonstrating at the AMB that its solutions can be used across a range of industries. \u201cWe are demonstrating that even four-spindle, 5-axis simultaneous machining is possible. What matters is therefore not the industry, but the ability to design processes efficiently and flexibly,\u201d says Metzger.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

New BF 15\u201121D machine model expands the successful BF series <\/strong><\/p>\n

The BF\u202f15\u201121D is a machining center that has been specifically developed for cost-effective and reliable machining of larger, complex workpieces. It impresses in particular with its flexibility, dynamics and precision. As part of the BF series, the machine is specifically geared towards the rapid machining of frame and structural parts. In order to meet the specific market requirements, it features a hybrid design in which the X-axis is driven by a linear drive and the Y and Z axes by ball screw spindles.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, it features two working areas, each with a three-axis unit and a spindle. With travel paths of 1550 mm in the X axis, 1000 (750) mm in the Y axis and 750 mm in the Z axis, it is suitable for parallel machining of different, larger workpieces. During a workpiece change in one working area, the second spindle in the other working area can help to achieve even higher productivity. This means that both spindles can be used continuously. That increases output and significantly reduces auxiliary process times. SW is thus once again meeting high productivity requirements with its proven multi-spindle technology. At the AMB, SW will be demonstrating the subframe machining process on the BF 15-21D. Visitors will gain a practical insight into the machine concept and its application for large-format structural parts.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Flexible automation without rigid limits: the S-cell\u00ae<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a mobile robot cell, the S-cell\u00ae enables flexible automation of production environments without fixed interlinking. Instead of rigid line structures, a dynamic production environment is created in which machines and processes can be adapted at any time. It forms part of the Smart FMS (Flexible Manufacturing System) and is used for autonomous loading and unloading of machining centers, cleaning stations, assembly stations, etc. It therefore enables a variable material flow within the production process. The S-cell\u00ae is a mobile automation platform featuring a permanently integrated industrial robot that autonomously navigates the production floor using an automated guided vehicle (AGV).<\/p>\n

At the AMB, SW will be presenting this concept in an expanded scenario: The S\u2011cell\u00ae is moved between the different stations by an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) and handles the workpieces independently at each station. SW is thus demonstrating what flexible manufacturing means today. It\u2019s not just about automation; it\u2019s about adaptability as a central principle.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Smart manufacturing solutions with SW as system partner<\/p>\n

SW has successfully established itself on the market as a system partner, impressing customers above all with measurable economic benefits. Solutions such as the BF 15\u201121D demonstrate this approach in practice: processes can run in parallel and output can be increased. At the same time, more is produced on the same floor space, so that unit costs are reduced significantly. For users, this means less interfaces, greater efficiency and a solution that evolves in line with their requirements.<\/p>\n

At the AMB, SW is demonstrating how modern production functions as a flexible system, and that the future lies not in the optimization of individual components, but in the intelligent interaction of all the components.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
