Technical Description
The ERLO CV.30 Upright Drill Press is a heavy-duty, industrial-grade machine designed for precision drilling and tapping in mild steel and other materials. It features a 1.18-inch (30 mm) drilling capacity with a substantial 120 mm (4.72 inches) spindle stroke, allowing deep drilling operations. The spindle employs a Morse Taper MT3 and operates across 10 speeds, ranging from 245 to 4000 RPM, driven by a robust 0.9–1.5 kW (1.2–2 HP) motor via a V-belt transmission. The drill press offers a tapping capacity of up to M25 (approximately 1 inch) in steel. Its rigid construction includes a 100 mm diameter cast iron column, with spindle-to-column distance of 250 mm and an adjustable spindle-to-table distance ranging from 85 to 635 mm, enabling versatile workpiece accommodation. The table, measuring 300 x 270 mm, is height adjustable and rotates 360°, while the base dimensions are 600 x 380 mm, ensuring stability. Weighing 280 kg (617.3 lbs), the CV.30 features manual feed control with a sensitive feed handwheel, promoting accuracy. Safety is emphasized with features such as a drill guard equipped with a micro switch, emergency stop button, low-voltage electrical cabinet, and protective covers for rotating parts. Optional enhancements include a digital speed display with variable speed control, tapping device, coolant system, digital depth reader, automatic tool ejector, adjustable depth stop, T-slot table, and worklight, facilitating customized functionality for diverse production environments. This model suits workshops and industrial settings requiring reliable, precise manual drilling and tapping performance with proven durability and safety compliance.
