SW North America, a leading supplier of horizontal multi- and single-spindle CNC machining centers, automation, and complete system solutions, announced today that it will discuss two of its most advanced machining platforms – the BA W06-22 and the BA 322i – at the Southeast Manufacturing Technology Expo (Southtec), taking place October 21–23 in Greenville, South Carolina.
Known for its precision, reliability, and scalable automation, SW North America continues to expand its portfolio of machining centers designed for complex, high-volume production. The BA W06-22 and BA 322i represent the next evolution in multi-spindle machining technology, delivering efficiency and flexibility for manufacturers across diverse industries including automotive, E-mobility, medical devices, aerospace, agriculture, and construction equipment.
“Southtec is an opportunity to connect directly with manufacturers who are looking to improve efficiency, reduce cycle times, and scale up through smart manufacturing systems,” said Chad Barkley, Regional Sales Manager at SW North America. “We look forward to discussing how these machines and our automation capabilities align with real production goals.”
BA W06-22: Designed for Large, Lightweight Structural Components
The BA W06-22 is a twin-spindle horizontal machining center built for large, lightweight parts made from aluminum and non-ferrous materials. With a work envelope of 600 x 900 x 650 mm, the machine is well suited for machining battery trays, aerospace structures, and agricultural components with demanding tolerances and surface finish requirements.

Supporting Smart Production Across the Full Process Chain
At Southtec, the SW North America team will be available to discuss how manufacturers can integrate automation directly into their production environments. SW’s automation portfolio includes self-sufficient manufacturing cells equipped with six-axis robots, pallet storage systems, and intelligent software that coordinates part handling, loading, and machining in parallel.
SW’s automation capabilities extend beyond machining. The team will be available to explore how pre- and post-machining steps such as cleaning, leak testing, deburring, and part inspection can be integrated directly into a seamless, closed-loop production solution.
Although the machines will not be physically on-site, attendees can explore more on these advanced solutions at Booth #1130.
