SWBTEC, a professional manufacturer of slewing bearings, recently announced that in order to cope with the continuous growth of order demand and to enhance its manufacturing strength, the company has officially put into production a new 2-metre high-precision CNC machine tool. This machine integrates turning and grinding processes and can efficiently complete the precision machining of large slewing bearing raceways, marking a key step for SWBTEC in guaranteeing the quality and delivery capability of large-diameter (2-metre) products.

With the surge of market demand in the fields of construction machinery, mining equipment and new energy, SWBTEC’s order quantity continues to climb. The introduction of 2-metre CNC machine tools with ±0.01mm machining precision and intelligent control system is the core advantage, which not only relieves the pressure on the capacity of the original equipment, but also improves the process consistency of 2-metre slewing bearings to a new level. At the same time, the company simultaneously completed the iterative upgrade of many old equipment, building a more efficient and stable digital production system.

‘The commissioning of this equipment is an important fall of SWBTEC’s smart manufacturing strategy.’ Liu, General Manager of SWBTEC, said, ‘It can not only meet the growing demand of customers for high load bearing and long life for slewing bearings with a diameter of about 2 metres, but also further enhance the reliability of the product under extreme working conditions by optimising the surface treatment process of the raceway. We are replacing the ‘demographic dividend’ with the ‘technological dividend’ and continue to consolidate our competitive advantage in the global high-end market.’

As a practitioner of ‘Created in China’, SWBTEC has always included equipment upgrades in its long-term planning. In the next three years, the company plans to invest 20 million yuan in CNC equipment construction, through the introduction of machining centres, automated testing and other intelligent equipment, to create a ‘zero-defect’ precision manufacturing ecology, to ensure that from raw materials to finished products of the whole process of accurate control.

SWBTEC will continue to respond to the needs of customers around the world with technological innovation, for product details or to discuss co-operation, please contact us.
