BA space3

With an installation of footprint of 25.3m2, the machine is the largest in SW's repertoire. It features a working rage of 3,000 x 1,800 x 875 mm on the X-, Y- and Z-axes respectively. On each of these axes, the HSK 63 spindle is able to reach a rapid traverse of 120 m/min, with a chip to chip time of 4-4.25s (depending on which optional features a customer selects). So not only is the machine capable of machining large structural components made of light metal material such as battery housings and car chassis bodies that are in such high demand in the industry – but it does so at speeds much faster than anything offered by the competition.
