en.Wedoany.com Reported - SW, a German machine tool manufacturer, held a press conference in Shanghai to unveil its globally debuted new machines and multi-industry solutions, while sharing its development strategy for the Chinese market.
With "Best Single Piece" as its core concept, SW showcased its efficient and flexible machining solutions for sectors such as new energy vehicles, aerospace, medical, embodied robotics, and general machinery. Among the highlights was the world premiere of the BF 15-21D large-scale dual-spindle machining center. This model upgrades the original single-spindle design to a dual-spindle configuration, achieving a 55% improvement in production cycle time while maintaining a more compact footprint. In terms of flexibility, the two spindles can operate independently, machining entirely different parts in two work zones simultaneously, delivering a substantial enhancement to production line flexibility.
Stefan Weber, Global CEO of SW, stated at the press conference: "China has always been the most important market in SW's global strategy and a key driver of technological iteration and application innovation. Through continuous investment, we have built a localized system integrating R&D, production, and service." He also expressed gratitude to Norbert Wiest, the outgoing Honorary Chairman of SW China: "Mr. Wiest started from scratch and built SW Suzhou into the Group's most modern overseas manufacturing base."
Zhu Hui, the new CEO of SW China, outlined three major strategic directions: First, consolidate existing strengths for new growth, expanding from established industries into emerging fields such as aerospace, embodied robotics, energy, and medical sectors; second, leverage digitalization to reshape cost structures and production operations; and third, global integration, enabling Chinese manufacturing capabilities to become part of SW's global supply chain.
Lu Yi, Chief Sales Officer of SW China, introduced the S-fix intelligent flexible fixturing system and the S-cell flexible loading/unloading system. He noted that in the future, these three flexible solutions will be deeply integrated, creating a highly flexible smart manufacturing system tailored for high-mix, low-volume production.
