Pinnacle QV179 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a **78.7" x 33.46" table** capable of supporting workpieces up to **5,500 lbs**, optimized for large and heavy-duty parts. It operates on a **3-axis system** with travels of 59" (X), 35.4" (Y), and 33.46" (Z), each axis capable of rapid traverse speeds up to 629 inches per minute and maximum feed rates of 394 inches per minute, allowing efficient and precise machining. The vertical spindle incorporates a **BT 50 taper**, delivering **25 HP (30-minute rating)** with a standard top speed of 6,000 RPM, with an optional upgrade to 8,000 RPM, ideal for varied machining applications requiring both torque and speed. Tool management is handled by a **24-position automatic tool changer (ATC)**, expandable to 32 tools, improving workflow efficiency and versatility across multiple operations. An optional **2-pallet changer** system supports increased productivity by allowing continuous machining without manual part loading. The machine does not include a support index or rotary table, focusing on straightforward vertical milling tasks. Robust feed capabilities and a large tool capacity make this center suitable for demanding applications requiring large workpieces and a variety of tooling options. The machine’s configuration supports heavy structural rigidity for precision, enhanced production rates, and reliable performance in industrial manufacturing environments.
