IMA DRILL I28M UPRIGHT DRILL PRESS

Technical Description

The IMA Drill I28M Upright Drill Press is a precision-engineered machine designed for heavy-duty drilling applications on mild steel with a capacity of 25 mm (0.984 inches). Powered by a robust motor delivering between 0.65 kW to 1.1 kW depending on frequency (50 Hz/60 Hz) and rated at 1.48 to 1.5 HP, it offers spindle speeds ranging from 105 to 2900 RPM (50 Hz) and 130 to 3480 RPM (60 Hz) across eight selectable steps. The quill stroke length is 135 mm (5.31 inches), providing ample drilling depth and control. The drill press features a high-torque gearbox utilizing helical and reinforced steel gears for smooth, efficient power transmission with minimal noise and maintenance. Its feed rate can be adjusted between 0.10 to 0.30 mm (0.004 to 0.012 inches) per revolution, allowing fine control over the feed pressure with an automatic overload protection mechanism for safety and operational efficiency. The drill head is fully rotatable 360° and vertically adjustable on the steel column, which ensures rigidity and precise alignment between drill and worktable. The machine supports tapping capacities of M16 (steel) to M20 (cast iron) and uses a Morse taper MK/MT 3 for tool holding, incorporating a built-in tool ejector for rapid bit changes. The worktable measures 500 x 400 mm (19.7 x 15.7 inches), and the press weighs approximately 200 kg (441 lbs), reflecting its sturdy construction suited for industrial settings requiring sensitive, accurate drilling operations.
