Horizontal borers and floor borers, the latter with X-axis up to 20m, can be equipped with automatic head changers and other systems, while manually operated machines are also built.
Tos Varnsdorf one of the leading European suppliers of horizontal boring machines recently celebrated their 100 year anniversary. The company was formed back in 1903 by Arnault Plauert and steadly increased their manufacturing facilities and product range through the years to become the leading exporter of machine tools in the Czech Republic. Today the company is in private ownership with the chairman being Jan Rydl, formally the companie's Technical Director and the driving force behind the current product range.

650 people are employed at Varnsdorf producing in excess of 240 machines per annum.

The product range extends from the manual W100A machine which has a spindle diameter of 100mm and a table size of 1250 X 1250mm.

The largest machine is the WRD150 floor borer, with a spindle diameter of 150mm, X axis up to 20m and Y axis up to 4000 mm.

In between there are various models of table type machines that can be equipped with facing heads, automatic pallet and toolchangers.

Control systems supplied are from Heidenhain, Siemens and Fanuc.

Varnsdorf took this opportunity to introduce the all new Tos-tec range, the Tos -tec models bring to horizontal borers all features that are normally associated with smaller horizontal machining centres allowing for greater productivity from larger capacity machines, but still allowing the machine to be customized to suit individual requirements.
