SW (SODICK) W06-22 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The SW (Sodick) W06-22 is a high-performance twin-spindle horizontal machining center engineered for precision and efficiency in the production of large, lightweight components, particularly in aluminum and nonferrous materials. With an X-axis travel of 23.622 inches (600 mm), Y-axis travel of 23.622 inches (600 mm), and Z-axis travel of 19.685 inches (500 mm), the machine provides a robust work envelope suitable for demanding applications such as battery trays, aerospace structures, and automotive parts. The W06-22 is powered by a 93.9 horsepower spindle capable of reaching up to 17,500 RPM, ensuring rapid material removal and fine surface finishes. Equipped with an 84-tool Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) and an HSK-A63 tool taper, the machine delivers fast tool changes and reliable tool holding for complex machining operations. The CNC control system, typically Siemens SINUMERIK 840 D sl, enables advanced programming and seamless integration into automated production environments. Linear motors drive the X-, Y-, and Z-axes, providing high dynamics, rapid traverse rates up to 120 meters per minute, and exceptional accuracy. The machine features a double swivel carrier with torque motors on rotary axes, allowing for flexible workpiece positioning and high load capacity. Designed for both wet and dry machining, the W06-22 supports direct fixture mounting or planetary tables, making it ideal for medium to high-volume production of complex, high-quality components. Its modular design and automation-ready features ensure adaptability to evolving manufacturing needs.
