PINNACLE QV117 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust BT40 spindle with a maximum speed of 8,000 RPM and 15 HP (30-minute rating), designed for versatile manufacturing applications including milling, drilling, tapping, and boring operations. The machine accommodates workpieces up to 2,200 lbs on its 51.18" x 27.55" work table, providing substantial capacity for both small and mid-sized components. With three axes of travel—44.88" (X), 27.95" (Y), and 24.02" (Z)—the center delivers impressive rapid traverse speeds of up to 787 inches per minute across all axes, enabling efficient chip-to-chip transitions and reduced cycle times. The standard 20-position automatic tool changer can be optionally expanded to 24 positions, supporting tool diameters up to 90mm and weights up to 8kg, ensuring flexibility for diverse tooling requirements. Maximum cutting feed rates of 394 inches per minute provide smooth, controlled material removal. The machine's positioning accuracy of ±0.005mm and repeatability of ±0.003mm enable precision work suitable for mold making, aerospace components, and automotive applications. Optional configurations include alternate CNC control systems (Siemens, Fanuc, Mitsubishi), spindle oil coolers, chip conveyors, and a two-pallet changer system for unattended production runs. Linear guideways and servo motors ensure rigidity and accuracy throughout extended production cycles, making this machine suitable for both rough and finish machining operations.
