SCHWäBISCHE WERKZEUGMASCHINEN GMBH BA 4 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The Schwäbische Werkzeugmaschinen GmbH BA 4 Horizontal Machining Center features a robust work table measuring 40.55" by 21.65", capable of supporting workpieces up to 990 lbs. It offers a dual horizontal spindle configuration with HSK A63 taper, running up to 17,500 RPM (standard) or 10,000 RPM (optional), powered by motors rated at 46 HP for 30 minutes and optionally 60 HP. The machine supports up to 72 tools via a pick-up system, expandable to 232 tools, with a rapid tool change time of 2.75 seconds. It includes a standard pallet changer with two pallets, which can be optionally increased to four. The machine operates on three axes with the option of adding a fourth U axis for enhanced machining flexibility. Axial travels include 15.75" (X, optionally 7.87"), 19.69" (Y), and 14.76" (Z), with a maximum rapid feed rate of 2,161 inches per minute in all axes. This configuration supports high-precision, high-efficiency machining tasks, particularly suited for complex horizontal milling and multi-tool operations. The horizontal twin-spindle design facilitates simultaneous machining operations, improving throughput and reducing cycle times. Optional rotary and U-axis support extend versatility for complex multi-axis machining. High spindle horsepower combined with high-speed capability and a large tool magazine enable demanding mold, die, and general precision manufacturing applications. The pallet changer system further enhances productivity by minimizing downtime between runs. Overall, the BA 4 Horizontal Machining Center delivers advanced machining capability with flexibility for customization to complex manufacturing requirements.
