On May 24, 2026, the production base of JSWAY CNC COMPANY welcomed teachers and students from Banfu No. 1 Middle School, Zhongshan City. This event combined campus education, family support, and the social responsibility of enterprises in Banfu. As a benchmark enterprise in the field of intelligent manufacturing in Zhongshan, JSWAY CNC COMPANY opens a door for students to enter the gateway of modern industrial civilisation.
The modern industrial system of the Banfu Industrial Park is being built at an accelerated pace, providing a continuous stream of momentum for the upgrading of intelligent manufacturing in the Greater Bay Area. As a “machine tool” enterprise — a true mother machine of industry — JSWAY CNC COMPANY resonates with the same frequency as the new industrial city of Banfu. By coming to JSWAY, the students, parents and teachers of Banfu No. 1 Middle School can experience the authentic face of high-end manufacturing.
In the workshop of JSWAY CNC COMPANY, Swiss‑type lathes ready for delivery undergo rigorous pre‑shipment inspections. Every machine must pass three levels of inspection – self‑inspection, cross‑inspection, and specialized inspection – followed by online laser inspection and finished‑product running‑in testing, before it can be loaded onto trucks bound for customers. The laser interferometer scans the guideways, the Renishaw ballbar checks roundness, and the coordinate measuring machine (CMM) touches every reference surface – only when all data show “green light” is the machine allowed to be shipped.
In the field of machine tool manufacturing, a well‑known saying goes: “Only a precise mother machine can produce precise machine tools.” As the “industrial mother machine,” a machine tool’s own manufacturing accuracy determines the precision of the parts it can produce. Over nearly two decades, JSWAY CNC COMPANY has forged a path toward quality based on the principle of “building top‑level machine tools with top‑level mother machines.”
