2017 SW BA W02-22 5-Axis Twin Spindle CNC Horizontal Mill

The 2017 SW-BA-W02-22 is a high-speed twin-spindle 5-axis CNC horizontal machining center engineered for precision and productivity in complex, small-part manufacturing. Each of its two HSK-A40 spindles reaches 25000 RPM with 18 kilowatt motors, achieving exceptional dynamic response via linear motors that yield up to 120 m/min rapids and 6000 N feed thrust in Y. The dual rotary A/B-axis units are torque motor-driven and rated for rapid swivelling within 2.25 seconds, while the simultaneous C- and W-axis control enables full 5-axis machining across both stations. Its tool magazine offers 2 x 20-position pick-up capacity with automatic chip-to-chip time of 1.75 seconds, and it operates under a Siemens Sinumerik 840D SL control with absolute positioning feedback of 0.006 mm tolerance.

Compared to simpler twin-spindle horizontal mills that may lack linear drive, true torque-driven rotary axes, or fast tool exchanges, the SW-BA-W02-22 stands in a class of its own for ultra-high-speed multi-part machining. It provides manufacturing throughput and rigidity that far surpass conventional dual-table horizontals or slower indexing machines, delivering cycle time reductions ideal for medical, aerospace, and high-volume automotive applications.
