PINNACLE MACHINE TOOL AX-320 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Pinnacle Machine Tool AX-320 Vertical Machining Center is a high-performance 5-axis CNC machining solution engineered for precision and versatility in demanding industrial environments. Equipped with a Heidenhain iTNC530 control system, the AX-320 delivers advanced motion control, fast block processing, and robust programming capabilities for complex 3D contouring and simultaneous 5-axis operations. The machine features an A-axis tilt of 150° (-120°/+30°) and a C-axis rotary of 360°, enabling intricate part geometries and efficient multi-sided machining. With X, Y, and Z-axis travels of 26", 24", and 22.4" respectively, and a 12.6" diameter work table, the AX-320 accommodates a wide range of workpiece sizes, supporting a maximum table load of 330 lbs. The spindle utilizes a CAT 40 taper and ISO40 tool shank, with a spindle speed up to 12,000 RPM and a 9/12 kW motor for high-speed, high-torque applications. An automatic tool changer with a 40-tool capacity ensures rapid tool exchange and uninterrupted production. The spindle nose to table surface ranges from 2" to 23.8", and the machine supports tools up to 3.54" in diameter, 11.8" in length, and 17.63 lbs. in weight. Rapid feedrates reach 1.1811"/min (X/Y) and 0.9448"/min (Z), while standard feedrates are 0.393"/min. The AX-320’s robust construction, high dynamic performance, and advanced control system make it ideal for aerospace, automotive, medical, and general manufacturing applications requiring high accuracy and efficiency.
