Numerous interested industry visitors, as well as guests from politics and business, came to Aalen to learn about the innovative developments and processing concepts.
The visitors were visibly impressed by the new portal machine PowerPortal 4000, which was the focus of the event.
Investment in the Aalen location
“We are not only presenting the PowerPortal 4000, but we also want to demonstrate our company and the strengthening of the location in Germany with this in-house exhibition. Unlike many others in the industry, we are continuing to expand and are still looking for new employees,” said Martin Greis, Managing Director of SHW WM and SHW BT.
Innovative technology for the highest demands
The new portal machining center is SHW Werkzeugmaschinen's response to the industry's demand for flexible and efficient solutions in machining.
Moreover, SHW has succeeded in combining the quality and performance of a traveling column machine with the precision of a portal machine in the new PowerPortal 4000. The concept allows for seamless 5-sided machining with the highest possible accuracy and a variety of configuration options. Currently, the machine is designed for a workpiece weight of up to 25 tons, with versions for heavier workpieces in planning. Additional available options include a dynamics package, a precision package, and a chip management package.
“It was important for us to consider the requirements brought to us by our customers right from the design and layout of the machine,” added Martin Rathgeb, Technical Director of SHW WM.
Versatile application possibilities
The PowerPortal 4000 is designed for machining a wide variety of workpieces from various industries. For example, for the machining of large engines, components from the transport sector, or workpieces from machine and plant engineering. The portal days were rounded off with discussion rounds between the attending interested parties and the developers of the machine, as well as presentations on the development and objectives of the manufacturing technologies.
