Technical Description
The PINNACLE AX320 Vertical Machining Center is a high-precision, 5-axis CNC machine engineered for complex and demanding machining tasks in aerospace, automotive, military, and biomedical sectors. It features a **vertical spindle with an ISO #40 taper**, capable of speeds up to 10,000 RPM standard, with optional upgrades to 12,000 RPM, driven by a powerful 16 HP motor rated for 30 minutes of operation under load. Its worktable measures 12.6" x 12.6" and supports workpieces up to 330 lbs, facilitating robust handling of medium-sized components. The machine offers **travel ranges of 25.98" (X), 24.02" (Y), and 24.02" (Z)** with rapid traverse rates up to 1,179 inches per minute, ensuring fast, efficient machining cycles. The A-axis provides a tilt capability of up to 150°, allowing five-axis synchronized machining for complex geometries, reducing setup times and increasing accuracy. Tool handling is managed by a 24-tool automatic tool changer, expandable to 40 tools, enabling flexible and uninterrupted machining operations. The machine’s structural components are constructed from Meehanite cast iron with stress relief tempering for vibration reduction and enhanced rigidity. Advanced pneumatic spindle head balance minimizes vibration, enhancing precision. This center's design maximizes machining efficiency, accuracy, and operational stability, making it suitable for detailed, high-tolerance part production. Its compact footprint and robust feature set make it a versatile addition to advanced manufacturing environments requiring superior multi-axis machining capabilities.
