What This Machine Does
This round column range covers drilling diameters of 30 mm 35 mm 40 mm and 50 mm on a single design, so a shop can standardise on one machine layout and pick the capacity it needs. What separates it from a plain drill press is the worktable: it lifts under motor drive as well as by hand, rotates through 180 degrees and tilts 45 degrees either way, which lets an angled hole be drilled without building a wedge fixture. A coolant system and a tapping mechanism are fitted, so the same setup drills the hole and cuts the thread. The electrical system is designed to IEC standard and includes short circuit and overload protection, and the moving parts carry guarding. The construction is compact with a wide speed change range, and the machines suit single pieces small batches and volume production of drilled counterbored reamed tapped and spot faced work.
Why Buyers Choose This Machine
- One design across 30 35 40 and 50 mm capacity so operators move between machines without retraining
- Motor driven table lift removes the hand cranking that slows setup on heavy parts
- Table rotates 180 degrees and tilts 45 degrees either way so angled holes need no wedge fixture
- Tapping mechanism fitted so the hole is drilled and threaded in the same setup
- Coolant system as standard protects drill life and hole finish in continuous work
- Electrical system built to IEC standard with short circuit and overload protection
- Wide speed change range covers small drills and full capacity holes on one machine
Where Pillar Type Vertical Drilling Machine Z5030 Z503 Earns Its Place
Problems It Solves
- Lifting heavy parts to the spindle wastes time when the table only cranks by hand
- Angled holes otherwise need a fixture built for every part
- Drilling and tapping on separate machines adds handling and loses hole alignment
- Dry drilling at 40 and 50 mm diameters burns drills quickly
- Unprotected electrics trip or fail under the stalls that happen in heavy drilling
Who It Is For
- Production machine shops drilling to 50 mm
- Fabrication and structural workshops
- Plant maintenance departments handling heavy components
- Equipment builders finishing housings and frames
- Distributors supplying upright drilling machines
Application Scenarios
- Drilling and tapping mounting holes in machined plates and housings
- Angled hole drilling on parts where the table tilt replaces a dedicated fixture
- Counter boring and spot facing bolt seats on fabricated assemblies
- Reaming pre-drilled holes to fit on dowel and bearing locations
- Small batch and volume drilling in a production shop
- General maintenance drilling in a heavy equipment workshop

How It Is Built and What Can Be Changed
Operations Performed
- Drilling
- Counter boring
- Reaming
- Tapping
- Spot facing
Quality Control
- Spindle run-out checked on the assembled head
- Table lift tested under motor drive and by hand over the full travel
- Table rotation and tilt checked against the 180 degree and 45 degree limits
- Electrical protection devices tested and insulation checked
- Test drilling and tapping at the rated capacity of the model before packing
Customisation Options
- Model chosen by your maximum drilling diameter 30 35 40 or 50 mm
- Supply voltage frequency and phase set for your market
- Tapping attachment and collets specified for your thread range
- Machine vice and clamping set supplied with the machine
- Operating language and manual prepared for your workshop
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| Pillar drilling machine Z5025 | Z5025 tops out at 25 mm with a fixed round table; this range goes to 50 mm and adds a powered table lift with rotation and tilt |
|---|---|
| Box type vertical drilling machine Z5140B and above | The square column machines are heavier and built around a rigid box column for continuous production to 80 mm; this round column range is lighter more flexible and easier to set for angled work |
| Magnetic base drill on the part | A mag drill goes to the work but cannot hold angle or provide coolant and tapping; this machine gives a rotating tilting table and a full coolant circuit for shop work |
Running the Machine
Step 1
Level and bolt the machine and connect power and coolant
Step 2
Pick the model capacity that matches your drill diameter up to 30 35 40 or 50 mm
Step 3
Set the table height on the powered lift then fine set by hand
Step 4
Rotate or tilt the table where the hole is not perpendicular to the part face
Step 5
Clamp the part to the table and set the speed for the drill diameter
Step 6
Run coolant before the drill enters the material
Step 7
Change to the tapping mechanism to cut the thread without moving the part

Questions About Pillar Type Vertical Drilling Machine Z5030
How do I choose between Z5030 Z5035 Z5040 and Z5050?
By your maximum drilling diameter. The models are listed at 30 mm 30 mm 40 mm and 50 mm respectively. Send us your largest hole size and material and we will confirm the model.
Can the table be tilted for angled holes?
Yes. The worktable rotates through 180 degrees and tilts plus and minus 45 degrees so angled holes can be drilled without a dedicated fixture.
Does the machine tap as well as drill?
Yes. A tapping mechanism is fitted along with the coolant system. Tell us your thread range and we will confirm the attachment and collets.
Is the electrical system suitable for our market?
The electrical system is designed to IEC standard with short circuit and overload protection. Send us the voltage frequency and phase and we will confirm the build.
What is the lead time and minimum order?
Single machines are supplied. Lead time depends on the model and the electrical build so send us the model and quantity for a confirmed shipment date.
How is the machine packed?
In a wooden case sized to the model. We confirm case dimensions net weight and gross weight on the proforma invoice before shipment.
What are your trade and payment terms?
We quote FOB CFR and CIF. Payment is 30 percent by T/T with the order and 70 percent before shipment, or an irrevocable L/C at sight.
