ERLO BTCE.40 UPRIGHT DRILL PRESS

The ERLO BTCE.40 Upright Drill Press is a heavy-duty industrial drilling machine featuring a drilling capacity of 40 mm (1.57 inches) in mild steel, designed for manufacturing and continuous production use. It employs a gear-driven power feed system with an electromagnetic clutch, delivering reliable automatic feed functionality for precise and consistent drilling operations. The machine's robust construction includes a cast iron head, column, and base that ensure structural rigidity and vibration resistance during high-load cycles. The drill press offers a multi-speed transmission, typically up to 9 speeds ranging approximately from 38 to 1,270 rpm, allowing operators to match drilling speed with material requirements. Its spindle taper is commonly Morse Taper No. 4 (MT4), capable of handling a wide range of tooling. Spindle stroke and travel usually extend to allow drilling depths up to 150–200 mm, supported by adjustable table positions with a tiltable and rotatable table to accommodate versatile workpiece setups. The model generally includes additional industrial features such as power feeds with four selectable feed rates (0.1 to 0.4 mm/rev), coolant systems, and safety measures compliant with CE standards. The ERLO BTCE.40 is well-suited to large workshop floors, weighing around 600 kg or more, and typically includes manual fine feed controls for delicate operations. This model facilitates high productivity and precision in steel fabrication and related metalworking applications through its combination of automatic feed, strong mechanical design, and operator safety features.
