Price estimate
We do not have a price for the SW BA W08-11 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
The SW BA W08-11 is a large single-spindle machining center with linear drives and one work table. X travel is 1,500 mm (59.1 in). Y depends on the spindle chosen: 1,025 mm (40.4 in) with HSK-A63 or HSK-A80, and 975 mm (38.4 in) with HSK-A100. Z is 660 mm (26.0 in).
SW pairs this model with the BA W08-21 in a video about large single-table machines, and the phrase sums it up. A single table leaves room for a big rotary fixture: the 4th-axis interference circle is Ø 1,650 x 1,830 mm. Subframes, battery trays and structural castings from SW's part list are large and flat, and they need that swing to turn over inside the machine.
The spindle choice is the one found across SW's large linear machines. HSK-A63 has a 1-17,500 rpm range with 35 kW and 80 Nm. HSK-A80 and HSK-A100 have a 1-12,500 rpm range with 42 kW and 200 Nm. Structural aluminium parts are mostly cut with small and medium tools, so the HSK-A63 spindle is common here, and it also keeps the longer Y travel.
SW's feature list for the BA W08 mentions the best use of space due to a large Q-axis beam. The table does not explain the Q axis further. Ask SW how it interacts with the fixture and what load the workpiece carrier accepts, since neither is stated.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
1,500 mm (59.1 in) in X and 660 mm (26.0 in) in Z. Y is 1,025 mm (40.4 in) with the HSK-A63 or HSK-A80 spindle and 975 mm (38.4 in) with the HSK-A100 spindle.
02
In SW's table only the interference circle changes. The standard model swings Ø 1,650 x 1,830 mm and the BA W08-11 space swings Ø 1,850 x 1,980 mm. Travels and spindle options are listed with the same values.
03
HSK-A63 with a 1-17,500 rpm range, 35 kW and 80 Nm, or HSK-A80 or HSK-A100 with a 1-12,500 rpm range, 42 kW and 200 Nm. The HSK-A100 version reduces Y travel to 975 mm (38.4 in).
04
Yes. The BA W08-12 keeps the 1,500 mm (59.1 in) of X but has 900 mm (35.4 in) of Y, 650 mm (25.6 in) of Z and a Ø 950 x 1,830 mm interference circle, in exchange for loading during the cut.
