TOS Kuřim SKD-E

Q: How much does the TOS Kuřim SKD-E cost?

The price estimate for the TOS Kuřim SKD-E is uncertain: we have no price for it that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so we give no figure. Configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/tos-kurim-skd-e#price; the request is passed to TOS Kuřim or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the TOS Kuřim SKD-E 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

Hydrostatic guideways on every listed axis and workpieces of 80,000 - 320,000 kg (176,367 - 705,467 lb): the TOS Kuřim SKD-E is the heavy class of the SKD vertical lathes. Clamping plates are 5,000/6,300/8,000 mm (196.9/248.0/315.0 in) and the maximum machining diameter is 6,500 - 10,000 mm (255.9 - 393.7 in).

The weight figure agrees with the maker's feature list, which speaks of sturdy tables for loads of up to 320 tons. At that mass the guideways carry the argument. Z is hydrostatic, and so are X and W. An oil film under a ram and cross-rail of this size is what keeps motion smooth under a cutting force listed at 100 kN.

The machine is tall as well as wide. Machining height is 4,000/5,000/6,000 mm (157.5/196.9/236.2 in). The cross-rail strokes 2,800 - 4,800 mm (110.2 - 189.0 in) and the ram extends 2,500/3,200 mm (98.4/126.0 in). Ram section is 340 x 340/400 x 400 mm (13.4 x 13.4/15.7 x 15.7 in), the larger one presumably for the bigger configurations. Support travel in X is 7,500 - 11,000 mm (295.3 - 433.1 in).

Plate speed is 100 - 25 rpm, falling as the plate grows; even the upper figure is slow, as surface speed at these diameters requires. The series is multifunctional, with milling and grinding function and an optional built-in milling spindle in the ram. Tool holders change automatically, milling heads semi-automatically.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Workpiece weight of 80,000 - 320,000 kg (176,367 - 705,467 lb)
Hydrostatic guideways on Z, X and W
Machining diameter of 6,500 - 10,000 mm (255.9 - 393.7 in) and height of 4,000/5,000/6,000 mm (157.5/196.9/236.2 in)
Cutting force of 100 kN, against 40 kN on the SKD-D
Ram available in 400 x 400 mm section

Limitations

Plate speed of 100 - 25 rpm limits small-diameter work near the centre
Milling heads are exchanged semi-automatically
No Y axis; the SKDY-E adds 4,500 - 6,500 mm (177.2 - 255.9 in) of Y travel
Hydrostatic axes need their own oil supply and upkeep, which the catalogue does not detail

Best For

Very heavy rings and casings up to 320,000 kg (705,467 lb) Tall parts up to 6,000 mm in machining height Heavy interrupted cuts on castings and forgings at 100 kN

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How heavy a workpiece can the SKD-E carry?

The workpiece weight row gives 80,000 - 320,000 kg (176,367 - 705,467 lb), depending on the plate and configuration. The feature list for the series mentions sturdy tables for loads of up to 320 tons.

02 What guideways does the SKD-E use?

Hydrostatic throughout the table: the Z axis guideways are hydrostatic, and so are the X and W axis guideways. The lighter SKD-D uses sliding ways on Z and linear profile guides on X and W.

03 What are the main dimensions of the SKD-E?

Clamping plate 5,000/6,300/8,000 mm (196.9/248.0/315.0 in). Machining diameter 6,500 - 10,000 mm (255.9 - 393.7 in). Machining height 4,000/5,000/6,000 mm (157.5/196.9/236.2 in). X travel 7,500 - 11,000 mm (295.3 - 433.1 in), ram extension 2,500/3,200 mm (98.4/126.0 in) and cross-rail stroke 2,800 - 4,800 mm (110.2 - 189.0 in).

04 When is the SKJ a better choice than the SKD-E?

When the diameter exceeds what the SKD-E frame can swing. The SKJ 80 machines up to 16,000 mm (629.9 in) on an 8,000 mm (315.0 in) plate at 320,000 kg (705,467 lb), using a movable column in place of a fixed frame.
