Technical Description
The Pinnacle BX700 Vertical Machining Center is a high-precision, 5-axis CNC machine engineered for complex and multi-sided part production. It features a standard rotary table with a maximum workpiece weight capacity of 1,760 lbs, supporting a table size of 24.8 x 24.8 inches (630 x 700 mm), with an optional extended table size of 63 x 27.56 inches. The machine is equipped with a vertical spindle using a #40 taper, capable of reaching up to 15,000 RPM and delivering 24 HP (30-minute rating) for high-speed, high-torque machining. The 5-axis configuration includes X, Y, Z, and B axes, with the B-axis offering a swivel range of ±120° (240° total), enabling versatile and accurate positioning for intricate geometries. The tooling system utilizes an Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) with a standard 30-tool magazine, expandable to 60 tools for increased productivity. Axis travels are 55.11" (X), 27.95" (Y), and 31.89" (Z), with maximum feed rates and rapid traverse speeds of 394 ipm and 1,414 ipm, respectively, ensuring fast and efficient material removal. The machine’s rigid structure, advanced direct-drive technology, and high-accuracy positioning deliver exceptional surface finishes and machining efficiency, making it ideal for demanding applications in aerospace, automotive, and mold industries.
