SW North America Manufacturing Production Cell Runs Fully Automated
IMTS 2024: SW’s production lines are designed to precisely match components to the matched quantities from the raw part to the packaged, ready-to-ship component.
SW North America Inc. is demonstrating a small production cell comprising:
- The BA W02-22, a multi-spindle machining center designed to produce high-quality parts using linear drive technology and the company’s Monoblock design.
- The BA 322i, designed to function as an independent manufacturing cell that can store enough workpieces for an entire shift. This twin-spindle horizontal machining center can produce twice the output using less floor space and energy.
- The TopRob7, a gantry axis at a height of 2 meters that loads and unloads machines and systems process-oriented from above, removing the need for protective fences and trip hazards and providing an unobstructed view into the work areas and the components of the machine tools are directly accessible.
The BA 322i’s integrated robot will load the raw material into the machine for op10. The TopRob7 will transfer it to the BA W02-22 for op20 to produce a aluminum workpiece as a unique show keepsake for visitors to the company’s booth.
SW plans and implements fully automated production cells. SW’s production lines are designed to precisely match components to the matched quantities from the raw part to the packaged, ready-to-ship component. This results in a customized manufacturing solution from a single source — more security with fewer project risks. The company has developed large-scale production cells in industries such as automotive, agriculture, construction and others.
