SKAT

Main advantages of special SKAT vertical lathes and vertical turning centers The SKAT special vertical lathes in sizes 12 and 16 are specified for complete machining of railway wheels and of low ring-shaped workpieces (especially of bearing rings), which have bigger dimensions and which are made of high-quality metal. Using these vertical lathes, it is possible to turn inside and outside cylindrical and conical surfaces, rotary surfaces and to perform thread cutting. The machines have two rail heads. The table is completed with three-jaw hydraulic-mechanical chucking or with six-jaw hydraulic–mechanical chucking and with special jaws for chucking the railway wheels or the thin–walled rings. The chucking force is adjustable and chucking is checked automatically during machining. The cross rails are not adjustable for height at the SKAT vertical lathes. The SKAT machines have two specially adapted chain tool magazines for 30 toolholders with movable cylinders and with two adjustable storage places for storing the applied tools. The tool magazines are located on the floor on the right side and on the left side, next to the machine bed. The working area including the tool magazines is secured against flying chips and splashing coolant by means of protective guards. The machine is equipped with the Sinumerik control system. On the customer’s wish the vertical lathe can be completed with automatic workpiece manipulation including workpiece transport.
