EIFCO P4/38 UPRIGHT DRILL PRESSES

Technical Description

The EIFCO P4/38 is a heavy-duty upright pillar drilling machine designed for precision metalworking applications. This geared, auto-feed model delivers a maximum drilling capacity of 38mm (1.49 inches) in mild steel, making it suitable for medium-duty industrial operations. Powered by a 1.5 kW/2 HP three-phase electric motor operating at 1400 RPM, the machine features five selectable spindle speeds ranging from 170 to 680 RPM, allowing operators to optimize performance for various materials and hole sizes. The machine incorporates three power feed options with rates of 0.095, 0.190, and 0.285 mm/revolution, enabling consistent automated drilling without manual adjustment. A Morse taper 4 spindle accommodates standard drill bit shanks, while the optional M22 tapping capacity provides threading functionality. The robust construction includes a 139.7mm diameter pillar with 178mm spindle traverse for vertical positioning flexibility. The machine's work surfaces comprise a 370mm diameter rotary table and a 370 x 330mm base, providing adequate workholding capability for diverse applications. Overall dimensions measure approximately 1100 x 640 x 2200mm (L x W x H), with a substantial net weight of 850kg, ensuring stability during operation. Maximum spindle-to-table and spindle-to-base distances of 555mm and 1000mm respectively accommodate varying workpiece heights. This industrial-grade drilling machine combines reliability and precision, making it an ideal choice for manufacturing facilities, tool rooms, and metal fabrication shops requiring dependable hole-making capabilities with repeatable accuracy and efficient auto-feed operation.
