Skoda Monorail miling drilling machine

Skoda Machine Tool is a Czech Republic-based company that has been in the machine tool building industry for over 90 years. In addition to manufacturing drilling and milling machines, the company also produces heavy-duty horizontal center lathes that can handle workpieces weighing up to 250 tons, with turning diameters of up to 5.2 meters and maximum workpiece lengths of 30 meters. When the company undertook a project to develop a new machine range, they decided to replace the traditionally used hydrostatic guideways with Schneeberger's MONORAIL profiled linear guideway. This decision was made based on the long-standing quality of Schneeberger's products and their employees' expertise in the field. The Schneeberger MONORAIL MR roller-bearing profiled linear guideway has proven to be reliable even in the heaviest and most precise drilling machines. Schneeberger's willingness to comply with Skoda's specific requirements, such as over-grinding the top side of the rail to a delta rail height <0.01 mm, further cemented their reputation for quality and expertise.
