Pinnacle AX450 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust 17.7" x 17.7" table capable of supporting workpieces up to 660 lbs, providing a stable platform for demanding machining operations. The machine is equipped with a high-speed vertical spindle featuring a #40 taper, capable of reaching 10,000 RPM standard and up to 12,000 RPM in optional configuration, delivering 16 HP (30-minute rating) for efficient material removal and precision finishing. Tool management is handled by an automatic tool changer (ATC) supporting 24 tools standard and expandable to 40, ensuring rapid tool changes and increased productivity. The machine offers 5-axis capability, with X, Y, and Z travels of 29.9", 24.02", and 22.05" respectively, and an A-axis rotary table providing 220° rotation for complex part geometries. All linear axes deliver a maximum feed rate of 394 ipm and rapid traverse speeds up to 1,179 ipm, enabling fast positioning and reduced cycle times. The absence of a U-axis and pallet changer maintains a streamlined configuration focused on core machining performance. This machine is ideal for high-precision, multi-axis milling applications in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and mold making, where accuracy, rigidity, and versatility are critical.
