(technical specification v06.03)
The RET10X is a T-type horizontal boring mill designed by RETOS VARNSDORF s.r.o. Thanks to its unit principle, this machine excels in a maximum variability of design for various technological applications. According to your specific needs, you can choose between feeds in the V axis (ram) or W axis (spindle) or in both of them. Travel ranges in the main axes X, Y and Z, the size and number (1 or 2) of clamping plates with various functions (interpolation, positioning rotary tables, non-rotating tables) can be customized.
In addition, milling heads, facing heads, ATCs and further accessories are available.

Lubrication
- central, axial lubrication
- frequency of lubrication cycles correlates with travelled track of the particular group
Clamping
- X, Y, Z, V axes – not clamped – positional feedback
- B axis – hydraulically
Hydraulic Power Packs
- HYTOS lubrication set – lubrication of all axes
- HYTOS pressure set – unclamping of tools, fixing of B
Position Measurement
- X, Y, Z axes – HEIDENHAIN absolute digital optical linear encoders
- V axis – absolute rotary encoder in motor
- B axis – HEIDENHAIN absolute angle encoder
- S axis – HEIDENHAIN incremental rotary encoder
Energy Distribution
Coverage of Machine

- SIEMENS drives and motors
V2 Headstock
- sliding ram – V axis
- sliding workspindle – W axis
- W drive – servomotor, planetary gearbox, ball screw
- W guidance – Caged Roller LM Guides
- W clamping – not clamped – positional feedback
- W measurement – absolute rotary encoder in motor
- for further details see V1 Headstock
V3 Headstock
- non-sliding, fixed ram
- sliding workspindle – W axis
- W drive – servomotor, planetary gearbox, ball screw
- W guidance – Caged Roller LM Guides
- W clamping – not clamped – positional feedback
- W measurement – absolute rotary encoder in motor
- for further details see V1 Headstock
V2 Table
- B axis interpolation controlled
- cylindrical interpolation using the rotary table
- drive – 2 servomotors (Master/Slave), 2 planetary gearboxes, gear ring
- for further details see V1 Table
V3 Table
2 Tables
- arbitrary combination of V1, V2, V3 Tables
- palletising mode – one active table with the second table in idle mode at its resting position
- coupling mode – the tables behave like one clamping surface and travel together along the X axis, the table rotation is blocked, the distance between the tables resp. the clamping surface length can be defined in relation to the resulting X axis travel (the longer the clamping surface, the shorter the travel)
- other purposes of use need to be clarified before ordering the machine – effects on the machine’s configuration, installation space and operating safety
