3.1 Functional Description
FLOTT pursued high standards in developing the PLUS series. The goal was
not another type of drilling machine – but drilling technology that is years
ahead of the time. Innovative in ergonomics and design, which keeps FLOTT
firmly anchored in the market "as a brand" of superior drilling technology.
Depending on the model, the pillar drilling machine consists of a stable ma-
chine base, a resilient column, a pivotable and height-adjustable drilling table
as well as the drive and control unit.
The machine is driven by a frequency converter controlled three-phase motor,
which uses a ribbed V-belt and pulleys to set the quill in rotation. The complete
drive unit as well as the control panel are located underneath or in the screw-
mounted protective hood.
The drill chuck is mounted on the spindle, which holds the cutter (drill, coun-
tersink, reamer or tap). On the side next to the spindle, there are 2 LEDs,
which provide for a good illumination of the workpiece.
The drilling table is used to safely secure the workpiece to be machined.
Clamping jaws or a vice can be secured with the T-blocks in the T-recesses in
the drilling table. These aids are used to secure the workpiece against rota-
tion. The drilling table can be adjusted in height with the aid of a toothed rack
and hand crank.
The machines without drilling table and toothed rack are provided with a gas
spring with which the machine head can be adjusted in height.
The machine is operated via the control panel with digital display and the
manual three-arm-lever. The spindle speed, the zero point and the drilling
depth can be set with the aid of the control panel. In addition, the machine still
has a limiter, with which the drilling depth can be manually limited. The opera-
tor moves the rotating spindle with the three-arm-lever in the direction of the
workpiece and can process it accordingly.
