ITCO-INDIAN MACHINE TOOLS IMTC / P40 UPRIGHT DRILL PRESS

The ITCO-INDIAN MACHINE TOOLS IMTC / P40 Upright Drill Press is designed for robust metal drilling applications with a capacity of 1 inch in mild steel and 1.22 inches in cast iron. It features a spindle made of precision-ground alloy steel supported by taper roller bearings for high accuracy and durability. The spindle is balanced and driven through a double ball-bearing mounted pulley system, ensuring smooth operation under load. The machine's head is constructed from close-grained cast iron, precisely bored and honed to maintain parallelism between the column and spindle, while the quill slides accurately within the honed bore for precise drilling. The column is a heavy-section seamless steel tube that offers superior rigidity and resists deflection, contributing to overall machine stability. It includes four spindle speeds ranging typically between 510 to 2850 rpm to accommodate different drilling requirements. The unit’s base is machined for a stable working surface, with dimensions suited for various workpiece sizes and configurations. Its motor rating is typically 1 HP with 1400 rpm in 3-phase power, making it suitable for industrial use. The spindle is Morse taper compatible, often MT-2, supporting a wide range of drill bits. The design emphasizes precision, durability, and versatility for heavy-duty drilling tasks in metalworking industries. This description synthesizes typical specifications and design features from ITCO’s pillar and upright drill presses, consistent with the provided capacity data.
