I modernised my bench drill with an integrated variable-frequency drive (VFD), adapted controls and a speed display.

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.
