    • Description
    • Additional Info

    The BX.35 and BX.40 models in ERLO’s BX Series stand out for their automatic feed driven by an electromagnetic clutch, offering a fully automated solution compared to the more manual feed systems of the SX and AX Series. The electromagnetic clutch enhances precision and efficiency, making these models perfect for high-volume, repetitive tasks where minimal operator intervention is required. While the AX Series uses a mechanical clutch for automatic feed, the BX Series takes automation a step further by using an electromagnetic system for smoother operations and better control.

    Both models feature a geared drive system, ensuring stable power transmission, and come equipped with essential industrial features like worklight, coolant system, and safety guards, making them ideal for demanding industrial environments.

    Differentiating Between Professional and Industrial Pillar Drills

    When differentiating between a professional and an industrial pillar drill press, it’s important to consider their intended use, construction, and capabilities. Industrial pillar drills are specifically designed for heavy-duty applications and continuous use in demanding environments such as metal fabrication shops and manufacturing plants. They feature powerful motors, advanced gear-driven mechanisms, and enhanced durability to handle larger drill bits and tougher materials with precision and reliability. In contrast, professional pillar drills are built for regular but not continuous use, offering robust construction and user-friendly features suitable for workshops, small businesses, and educational institutions. Understanding these distinctions helps in selecting the right drill press for your specific needs.
