The SKIQ vertical lathes are manufactured in sizes from 12 to 25 and they are delivered as lathe-type machines or as machining centres. The numbers of the sold SKIQ machines reach some hundreds, these vertical lathes have been manufactured in TOSHULIN since the seventieth of the 2Oth century. The considerable modernized machine finds its application practically in all industry branches. The vertical lathe is well-known by its unrivalled reliability and trouble-free operation even in extreme conditions. The characteristic feature of the SKIQ vertical lathes is the automatic tool exchange performed from the tool magazine with 15 positions located directly on the machine rail head. The tool magazine can contain turning tool holders, drilling and grinding spindles, including angle spindles. The SKIQ vertical lathes in sizes 12, 16 and 20 can be also manufactured with the side head. The SKIQ 25 vertical lathe can be equipped with two rail heads. The AC motor having the power output up to 60kW is used for the table drive and the independent servo drive is specified to drive the controlled C-axis. The machine can be equipped with the third controlled C-axis and with the rotary tool drive. Then it is possible to perform the following in addition to turning operations: • high-efficient drilling and thread cutting also outside the table rotation axis • milling of general shapes horizontally or vertically towards the table • grinding of general shapes vertically towards the table If the machine is completed with the pallet exchange system serving for workpiece exchange, it will reduce considerably the machine idle time necessary for workpiece setting and levelling. |
