Bench drill: integration and operation
I modernised my bench drill with an integrated variable-frequency drive (VFD), adapted controls and a speed display.
- Task
- Modernise the existing bench drill
- My own work
- Integrate a VFD and adapt the controls
- Result
- Modernised assembly with controls and a speed display
Develop the existing machine
The starting point was my existing bench drill, a Format TB 13.
- VFD integrated
- Controls adapted to the machine
- Front panel with speed display and rotary control at the machine head

Integrate the VFD and controls
- VFD mounted on the side of the machine
- Operating components in a separate front panel at the machine head
- Conversion includes integrating the VFD and positioning the controls
Controls and speed display
The front panel combines the speed display and a rotary control.
The photograph shows a conversion stage: installation at the machine head and the open belt drive.

Result
The existing machine was supplemented with a VFD, adapted controls and a speed display.
