- Description
- Additional Info
The FT Series differs from other ERLO machine series primarily in its focus on tapping operations and its compact, bench-type design, which sets it apart from the larger, floor-standing column drills and milling machines in the ERLO lineup.
Here are the key differences:
- Specialized Tapping Functionality: Unlike other series that focus on drilling, milling, or a combination of both, the FT Series is dedicated to precision tapping. Its design is optimized for repetitive tapping tasks, making it ideal for workshops focused on threading work.
- Bench-Type Design: The FT Series features a smaller, more compact bench-type design, allowing it to be installed in limited spaces. This is different from the larger, floor-standing machines like the TF or TCA Series, which require more floor space and are designed for larger-scale industrial tasks.
- Electronic Speed Variator: The FT Series is equipped with an electronic speed variator that allows precise control of spindle speeds during tapping operations. This is a feature typically found in more specialized tapping machines rather than general-purpose drilling machines in other ERLO series.
- Manual Feed: The FT machines utilize manual feed systems, as opposed to automatic feed systems found in machines like the TCE or TF Series. This manual control allows for greater precision during delicate tapping tasks.
- Digital Control Interface: The FT Series includes a digital multifunction screen, offering operators more control over tapping speed, depth, and switching between modes. This level of digital interface is less common in other ERLO machines, which often rely on manual adjustments or mechanical systems for speed and feed control.
In summary, the FT Series is a compact, specialized solution for bench-mounted tapping with a focus on precision, digital control, and space efficiency, making it distinct from ERLO’s larger, more versatile machines.
