SW (SCHWEIZER WERKZEUGMASCHINEN) BA 222 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The SW BA 222 is a precision horizontal machining center engineered for high-precision, small-part manufacturing. This compact 3-axis CNC machine features a working area of 200 x 350 x 300 mm per spindle, making it ideal for intricate workpieces requiring dimensional accuracy of ±0.006 mm. The machine delivers 18.8 horsepower per spindle with a maximum spindle speed of 25,000 RPM and HSK-A40 taper interface, enabling efficient material removal across diverse applications. Travel capabilities include 7.874 inches on the X-axis, 13.78 inches on the Y-axis, and 11.811 inches on the Z-axis, providing adequate workspace for small to medium components. The BA 222 is equipped with a Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl CNC control system, ensuring reliable operation and advanced programming capabilities. With maximum feed rates of 4,500 N on X and Z axes and 6,500 N on Y-axis, coupled with axis acceleration of 15 m/s² on X and Y axes and 20 m/s² on Z-axis, the machine delivers dynamic performance. Its dual spindle configuration, torque motor drive system, and precision direct absolute positioning measuring system establish it as a benchmark for 4 and 5-axis precision machining standards. The machine operates on 3-phase 400V, 50 Hz power with a total connected load of 37 kVA, requiring minimal air consumption of 0.4 Nm³/min at 5.5 bar for pneumatic functions.
