Technical Description
The ERLO TCA/60 BV Upright Drill Press is a heavy-duty, prismatic column machine designed for precise and powerful drilling operations. It features a drilling capacity of 2.36 inches (60 mm) in mild steel and up to 2.56 inches (65 mm) in cast iron, with a tapping capacity of M60. The drill press is equipped with a Morse Taper 5 (MK5) spindle nose, allowing robust tool holding and versatility. It offers 12 spindle speeds ranging from 40 to 1,065 rpm, with a maximum spindle speed of 1,065 rpm, controlled via hardened and ground steel gears for durability. The spindle has a generous stroke length of 10.24 inches (260 mm), and the throat—the distance from spindle centerline to column face—is 20.47 inches (520 mm), providing ample working space.
The table measures 23.62 by 31.50 inches (600 x 800 mm) and can be adjusted between 0 and 47.24 inches (0 to 1,200 mm) from the spindle, accommodating a wide range of workpiece sizes. The machine operates with a 4 HP (2.98 kW) main motor and features automatic feed powered by an electromagnetic drive with selectable feed rates from 0.002 to 0.020 inches per revolution for fine control during operation. Additional features include an electric feed, cooling unit, work light, tool ejector system, low voltage controls, fine feed handwheel, and adjustable depth stop to enhance precision and ease of use.
Weighing 2,535 lbs (1,150 kg) and designed for bench loads up to 717 lbs (325 kg), this substantial machine measures 123.62 x 39.37 x 59.06 inches (3,150 x 1,000 x 1,500 mm) and is manufactured in Spain, reflecting high engineering standards and durability for industrial drilling tasks.
