Skoda Machine Tool spindle repair
Brochexpress is an independent workshop specialising in the repair, maintenance and diagnostics of Skoda Machine Tool spindles — a leading Czech manufacturer of large-capacity boring-milling machines for the energy, transport, shipbuilding and mechanical engineering sectors.
Skoda Machine Tool, the Czech reference in large-capacity boring-milling machines
TLDR: Škoda Machine Tool (Plzeň, Czech Republic) designs large-capacity milling and turning centres for the energy, transport, shipbuilding and mechanical engineering sectors, with spindle diameters ranging from 130 to 300 mm.
Based in Plzeň, Czech Republic, Škoda Machine Tool builds large-capacity milling and turning centres designed for the most demanding heavy-machining sectors: energy, transport, shipbuilding and mechanical engineering. The boring-milling machine range covers spindle diameters from 130 to 300 mm, with Y-axis travel extending from 3,000 to 10,000 mm depending on configuration. The HCW series milling and boring machines, presented by the manufacturer as the most advanced and technically sophisticated in the range, are designed for high-performance, precise machining of heavy, large-scale parts through milling, drilling and boring.
A range of large-diameter spindles with hydrostatic guidance
TLDR: Skoda's HCW series boring-milling machines feature spindles from 150 to 300 mm in diameter, with power output of up to 140 kW, and hydrostatic circuits on every axis for high precision and rigidity.
The HCW series milling and boring machines represent the manufacturer's technical flagship range, with spindle diameters from 150 to 300 mm and axis power output of up to 140 kW. All axes on these machines use hydrostatic circuits, ensuring high precision and rigidity when machining massive workpieces. Across the broader boring-milling machine range, spindle diameters start at 130 mm, with Y-axis travel reaching up to 10,000 mm on the largest configurations, sized for machining very large energy, rail and marine components.

Frequently asked questions
Do you repair spindles from the HCW series, 150 to 300 mm diameter?
Yes, we work on these spindles, taking into account their hydrostatic guidance system.
Do you work on boring-milling machine spindles with Y-axis travel up to 10,000 mm?
Yes, we diagnose and repair these spindles regardless of the machine's travel length.
What is the average lead time for a complete overhaul?
Allow around 20 working days in the workshop, depending on the condition of the spindle and the availability of parts (bearings, seals, specific components).
Do you work directly on site for very large-diameter spindles?
Yes, our team travels to diagnose and, whenever possible, work directly on site to avoid the complete disassembly of large, heavy spindles.
Do you offer a preventive maintenance contract for a fleet of Skoda Machine Tool machines?
Yes, we draw up preventive maintenance programmes tailored to your production pace, particularly relevant for workshops in the energy, rail and marine sectors.
