ERLO BTCA.40 UPRIGHT DRILL PRESS

Technical Description

The ERLO BTCA.40 Upright Drill Press is a high-precision industrial drilling machine designed for heavy-duty manufacturing. It features a drilling capacity of 40 mm (1.57 inches) in mild steel and supports tapping up to M33 (approximately 1.3 inches). The drill is equipped with a robust MT4 (Morse Taper 4) spindle and a substantial 175 mm (6.89 inches) diameter column, ensuring rigidity and stability during operation. The spindle-to-column distance is 360 mm (14.17 inches), allowing versatile positioning of workpieces. The drill press operates on a powerful 2.2 kW (approximately 3 HP) motor with a speed range from 61 to 1,169 RPM across nine mechanically controlled speeds, facilitating a wide range of drilling applications. The cast iron table, measuring 550 x 550 mm (21.65 x 21.65 inches), is tiltable, height adjustable from 35 to 835 mm, and rotatable 360°, enhancing workpiece accommodation and precision. The base measures 950 x 550 mm, providing strong support while the total machine weight is approximately 610 kg (1,345 lbs), indicating solid construction for minimal vibration. Maximum drilling depth is 200 mm (7.87 inches), with a feed range adjustable between 0.10 and 0.40 mm per revolution. The drill press runs on a 3-phase, 400 V power supply and features gear-driven transmission for durability and consistent power transfer. Additional standard features include mechanical clutch, machine lighting, coolant unit, and safety protective cover with a micro switch, making it suitable for demanding machining environments and professional manufacturing settings.
