Vertical Turning

Vertical lathe SKJ series are a modern single-column multipurpose machine tool designed for work-pieces up to nominal diameter 629”, height 157” and weight 220,000lbs. It is constructed with a traveling column and cross rail, rail head and side head (optional). It enables turning in a large range of work-piece diameters at the most favorable position of the column and thus also better utilization of the side head. These concepts are useful especially for turning of ring-shaped work-pieces, which have a larger diameter and do no need machining in the centers.
