ERLO BTCE.70 UPRIGHT DRILL PRESS

Technical Description

The ERLO BTCE.70 Upright Drill Press is a heavy-duty, industrial-grade drilling machine designed for precision and durability in metalworking applications. It offers a drilling capacity in mild steel of up to 2.76 inches (70 mm), suitable for large diameter holes. The machine features a robust prismatic column and a fixed or adjustable table to accommodate various workpiece sizes, typically around 560 to 600 mm square. The spindle, equipped with a Morse taper MT5, operates at speeds up to approximately 1115 rpm, driven by a motor rated near 3 kW (4 HP range), providing stable and effective power transmission through hardened and ground steel gears. This model includes an automatic feed system with an electromagnetic clutch, enabling consistent feed rates with three selectable feed options, enhancing machining precision and reducing operator fatigue. The spindle stroke ranges from 160 to 260 mm, supporting deep drilling tasks, with a headstock traverse up to 300 mm for versatile positioning. The drill press is constructed with cast iron components for the head, base, and column to ensure rigidity and vibration damping during operation. Additional features include a tool ejector for fast drill bit changes, adjustable depth stops for repeatable hole depths, and optionally integrated coolant and work lighting systems to improve machining quality and operator safety. Weighing approximately 1150 to 1600 kg, this floor-standing pillar drill combines substantial mass with precise mechanical controls suitable for both serial production environments and maintenance workshops requiring reliable and heavy-duty drilling performance.
