CNC Machine and Automation Solutions at IMTS 2024<\/h2>\n<\/div>
<\/div>

Join SW North America for live machine and automation demonstrations for the entirety of IMTS 2024 at booth #338250!<\/strong> See this and more at McCormick Place in Chicago on September 9-14 in the South Building, Level 3.<\/p>\n

The demonstrations will include live machining across industry verticals<\/strong>, including EV, automotive, medical, aerospace, heavy trucking, agriculture, and construction, on the BA 322i and BA W0-22<\/strong>. Additionally, SW will host live manufacturing automation demonstrations of a battery housing for an EV in the automotive space<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Our goal is to ensure maximum productivity and flexibility in our machines, automation, and systems to help manufacturers like you shorten cycle times<\/strong>, free up floor space, gain higher production capacity<\/strong>, lower energy consumption, and reduce labor needs.<\/p>\n

We are looking forward to connecting with you!<\/p>\n

BA 322i<\/h2>\n<\/div>

BA 322i<\/h2>\n<\/div>

The BA 322i<\/a> is designed to function as an independent manufacturing cell<\/strong> that can store enough workpieces for an entire shift<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This twin-spindle horizontal machining center doubles output while using less floorspace and less energy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The integrated 6-axis robot<\/strong> utilizes the vertical workpiece storage tower<\/strong> to load and unload workpieces in parallel to machining time thanks to the double swivel carrier<\/strong>. The monoblock<\/strong> and box-in-box design<\/strong> are proven SW standards, providing more stability and precision.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This plug & play solution is perfect for the machining of impellers, brake calipers, scroll compressors, ABS valve bodies,<\/strong> and more.<\/p>\n<\/div>

BA W02-22<\/p>\n<\/div>

Experience\u00a0shorter cycle times and higher productivity\u00a0<\/b>with\u00a0direct drives. Linear motors<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0torque motors\u00a0<\/b>generate the desired movements directly, without mechanical transmission elements and therefore operate\u00a0wear-free<\/b>\u00a0and without mechanical backlash. The acceleration of\u00a0linear motors<\/b>\u00a0is particularly important. In\u00a0SW machining centers<\/b>, they achieve\u00a0acceleration values<\/b>\u00a0of up to 2g and rapid traverse speeds of 120 m\/min. And this is with\u00a0maximum precision<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

GANTRY SOLUTION: TopRob7 <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

With the modularly expandable\u00a0gantry solution\u00a0and the\u00a07-axis robots\u00a0\u201cTopRob7\u201d, we optimally\u00a0link\u00a0your\u00a0CNC machining centers\u00a0and\u00a0peripheral stations<\/strong>\u00a0to form highly productive\u00a0production lines.<\/strong> We arrange the\u00a0TopRob7\u00a0<\/strong>on a\u00a0gantry axis<\/strong> at a height of around 2 meters. Several\u00a0robots\u00a0can work independently of each other on one\u00a0gantry axis. TopRob7 loads and unloads the machines<\/strong> and systems\u00a0process-oriented\u00a0from above. You do not need\u00a0protective fences<\/strong>, so you can save valuable space in production. Above all, your operators have a clear view of the\u00a0work areas,<\/strong> and all machine tool components are freely accessible during\u00a0maintenance work.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

BA space3<\/p>\n<\/div>

The BA space 3<\/strong> features a working range of 3,000 x 1,800 x 875 mm on the X-, Y- and Z-axes respectively for precise<\/strong> and efficient production<\/strong> of battery housings, subframes<\/strong> and other large structural components in the automotive, EV<\/strong> and aerospace industries<\/strong>.\u00a0 On each of these axes, the HSK 63 spindle can reach a rapid traverse of 120 m\/min, with a chip-to-chip time of 4-4.25s.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

AUTOMATION MODULE: FloorRob<\/p>\n<\/div>

With the FloorRob6<\/strong> and FloorRob7 Automation Modules<\/strong>, you can quickly and easily load and unload machines from the front. Depending on the version, the time saved during the robot\u2019s movement when loading can be as high as 45% compared to manual loading procedures. Another advantage is the ability to load multiple machines automatically<\/strong>. And, in contrast to the static FloorRob6, the FloorRob7 can also move back and forth along the entire traversing axis. This allows the linking of machines.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Demonstrations on Display<\/h2>\n

Live Demonstration #1: Working Together<\/strong><\/p>\n

See the above machines work in unison, featuring rough and finish cuts on industry-agnostic workpieces.<\/p>\n

Attendees will witness the BA 322i<\/strong> independent machining cell ingesting the raw material and machining an intricate puzzle, brought to life by SW North America\u2019s sought-after apprenticeship program.<\/p>\n

Following machining, the TopRob7<\/strong> move the workpiece to a regripping station. Then, the BA W02-22<\/strong> multi-spindle machining center perform Op 20 and, after machining, the workpiece will be unloaded by the TopRob7.<\/p>\n

Live Demonstration #2: Automation in Action<\/strong><\/p>\n

This live demonstration features manufacturing automation capabilities, with SW\u2019s FloorRob6 (6-axis robot).<\/p>\n

Witness it simulating the loading of a large electric vehicle (EV) battery housing into SW’s largest machine, the BA space3, which can accommodate parts up to 3 meters in length!<\/p>\n

The battery tray\u2019s impressive size, combined with the articulation of the robot, will illustrate the effortless nature of using automation to load large components into a machine.<\/p>\n
