Price estimate
We do not have a price for the TOS Kuřim SKD-D 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 TOS Kuřim SKD-D is a large vertical lathe with a movable cross-rail, built around a clamping plate of 4,000/5,000 mm (157.5/196.9 in) and a maximum machining diameter of 6,000 mm (236.2 in). It takes workpieces of 100,000 kg (220,459 lb).
D is the lighter of the two SKD classes, and the guideway rows show how it is built. The ram's Z axis runs on sliding ways. X and W, the support travel and the cross-rail stroke, run on linear profile guides. The cutting figure, which the catalogue heads "cutting power" and gives in kN, is 40 kN. On the SKD-E every one of those axes is hydrostatic and the figure is 100 kN.
Machining height is 2,000/2,800 mm (78.7/110.2 in). The cross-rail moves 1,500/2,000 mm (59.1/78.7 in) to suit the part, and the ram, 340 x 340 mm (13.4 x 13.4 in) in section, extends 2,000/2,500 mm (78.7/98.4 in). Support travel in X is 3,000 - 6,800 mm (118.1 - 267.7 in), enough for the tool to cross the plate centre and work both inside and outside diameters.
Plate speed is printed as 125 - 60 rpm. It is written from high to low, and the likely reading is that the top speed depends on the plate size ordered; ask which figure goes with which plate. Beyond turning, the maker lists a multifunctional design with milling and grinding function and a ram with a built-in milling spindle as an option. Tool holders are exchanged automatically. Milling heads on the SKD are exchanged semi-automatically, which the SKDY and SKJ lists state as automatic.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Maximum machining diameter of 6,000 mm (236.2 in) on a 4,000/5,000 mm (157.5/196.9 in) plate
- Workpiece weight of 100,000 kg (220,459 lb)
- Plate speed listed as 125 - 60 rpm, the highest of the two SKD classes
- Milling and grinding functions and an optional ram with built-in milling spindle
- Linear profile guideways on the X and W axes
Limitations
- Cutting force of 40 kN against 100 kN on the SKD-E
- Machining height tops out at 2,800 mm; the SKD-E lists 4,000/5,000/6,000 mm (157.5/196.9/236.2 in)
- Milling heads are exchanged semi-automatically
- No Y axis: off-centre milling needs the SKDY-D with its 3,000/5,000 mm (118.1/196.9 in) of Y travel

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Up to 6,000 mm (236.2 in) in machining diameter and 2,000/2,800 mm (78.7/110.2 in) in height, at a workpiece weight of 100,000 kg (220,459 lb). The clamping plate is 4,000/5,000 mm (157.5/196.9 in) in diameter.
02
Size and construction. The SKD-E has plates of 5,000/6,300/8,000 mm (196.9/248.0/315.0 in), machines 6,500 - 10,000 mm (255.9 - 393.7 in) and carries 80,000 - 320,000 kg (176,367 - 705,467 lb) on hydrostatic guideways. The D class uses sliding and linear profile guideways and lists 40 kN where the SKD-E lists 100 kN.
03
Yes, within limits the catalogue leaves open. The series is described as multifunctional with milling and grinding function, and a ram with a built-in milling spindle is an option. Milling heads are exchanged semi-automatically. There is no Y axis in the SKD table, so milling positions come from the X travel and the rotation of the plate.
04
The row reads 125 - 60 rpm. The catalogue does not explain the descending range. Since the plate comes in two diameters, the probable meaning is a top speed that falls as the plate gets larger, and the quotation should state it.
