BFW Swift Nx 5-axis machining centres: cradle rotary table, 12,000–15,000 rpm built-in spindle, linear scales and Siemens Sinumerik One. Request a quote.
The BFW Swift Nx is a simultaneous 5-axis machining centre for high-precision, complex parts. An FE-optimised gantry structure, a high-torque built-in spindle and an integrated cradle-type rotary table deliver precise indexing and a high surface finish on aerospace, medical and automotive components.
Linear scales on all linear axes and absolute encoders on the rotary axes are standard, and the tilting axis uses a tandem (gantry) drive. Together with an optional volumetric compensation system, this keeps 5-axis kinematics accurate across the whole working volume.
The Swift Nx5 has a Ø500 mm table, 700 / 795 / 600 mm travels and a 400 kg payload. The Swift Nx8 offers a Ø800 mm table, 1100 / 1100 / 600 mm travels and 1000 kg. Both tilt from −120° to +30° on A and rotate 360° on C, with a 12,000 rpm spindle (15,000 rpm option).
A 32-tool chain magazine is isolated from the cutting zone for clean, safe tool loading. Siemens Sinumerik One with Mdynamics and a 15-inch multi-touch screen gives smooth 5-axis toolpaths, and a dual chip conveyor with bed wash keeps chips moving.
Choose the Swift Nx for high-precision 5-axis machining of complex parts on a cradle table. For larger, heavier parts on a horizontal 5-axis platform, see the Orion Fx; for an affordable entry into 5-axis, compare the CL 500.

All five axes move together during cutting, so the tool can follow complex 3D surfaces at the best angle. Parts with undercuts or free-form surfaces can be machined in one setup with a better finish.
