ERLO TCA-35 UPRIGHT DRILL PRESS

Technical Description

The ERLO TCA-35 is a professional-grade upright column drill press designed for precision drilling and tapping operations in mild steel and cast iron materials. This machine features a robust construction with a cast iron head, base, and column, providing exceptional stability during operation. The drill delivers a maximum drilling capacity of 35mm (1.38 inches) in mild steel and a tapping capacity up to M35, making it suitable for medium-duty production work. Powered by a 1.5 kW (2.01 HP) motor, the TCA-35 operates at speeds ranging from 90 to 2,520 RPM with eight selectable spindle speeds, allowing versatility across various material hardnesses and hole sizes. The automatic feed system with electromagnetic clutch provides three programmable feed rates for consistent, repeatable results. The spindle features a Morse Taper 4 (MT4) interface for secure tool holding. The machine's work surface is a fixed table measuring 47.2 x 38 inches, providing adequate support for workpieces. The spindle travel depth of 5.91 inches (150mm) accommodates moderately deep holes, while the 11.81-inch throat distance from spindle to column allows for off-center drilling on larger workpieces. The 4.92-inch diameter column ensures rigidity during cutting operations. The TCA-35 incorporates practical features including an automatic tool ejector, integrated coolant system for efficient chip evacuation and tool cooling, low-voltage safety controls, fine feed handwheel for precision adjustments, and an adjustable depth stop for production consistency. Weighing approximately 1,278.7 pounds, this drill press is suitable for small to medium-sized job shops and manufacturing facilities requiring reliable, accurate hole-making capabilities.
