Modular automation concepts
More flexibility and productivity
At EMO, Schwäbische Werkzeugmaschinen (SW) will be presenting productive manufacturing solutions for the rapid scaling of quantities with low space and energy requirements.
The BA W02-22i twin-spindle machining center with linear and torque motors and integrated automation enables complex workpieces to be produced with maximum precision on a footprint of just four square metres. The direct drives in the feed axes ensure positioning accuracy with a deviation of less than 0.006 millimetres, even at high machining speeds. The company will also be presenting a stand-alone production cell based on the BA W06-22 with integrated automation for machining non-magnetic materials such as aluminum or titanium alloys.
Medical implants made of titanium and other alloys can be manufactured using the stand-alone BA W02-22i machining center from SW. A loading module with integrated 6-axis robot and pallet storage is mounted on the machine for this purpose. In addition, SW offers the MobileRob, an AGV that changes the cassettes in the pallet storage without manual intervention. It fills the storage unit with new blanks and automatically moves the finished workpieces to the designated station in production.
SW is countering supply bottlenecks in the electric and hybrid car sector with self-sufficient production cells based on the BA W06-22 with integrated automation. This allows workpieces made of non-magnetic materials such as aluminum or titanium alloys to be machined in a working area of 600 x 630 x 510 millimeters with one or two spindles. It offers a feed speed of up to 120 meters per minute and therefore short cycle times.
