Pinnacle AX320

Q: How much does the Pinnacle AX320 cost?

The price estimate for the Pinnacle AX320 is uncertain: we have no price for it that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so we give no figure. Configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/pinnacle-ax320#price; the request is passed to Pinnacle or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Pinnacle AX320 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.

Overview

The Pinnacle AX320 is a 40-taper 5-axis machining center with a Ø320 mm (Ø12.6 in) tilting rotary table and travels of 660 mm (26.0 in) in X and 610 mm (24.0 in) in Y and Z. It is the first AX model built on a full-size vertical machining center frame, at 6,500 kg (14,330 lb).

The step up in frame shows in the spindle. The motor is 9/12 kW (12.1/16.1 hp), and there are two spindle families: direct drive at 10,000 (12,000/15,000) rpm or built-in at 18,000 (20,000/24,000) rpm. The first suits general steel and aluminium work, the second mould finishing with small tools.

On this model the table is driven by servo motor, and Pinnacle lists A-axis and C-axis rotary encoders among the accessories. The A axis covers 150°(-120°/+30°). Rotary feed is 5.5/11.5 rev/min on A/C, far slower than the direct-drive tables elsewhere in the range, so the AX320 is better at positioned five-sided work and steady contouring than at fast simultaneous motion.

The Z axis is counterbalanced pneumatically and the ball screws are cooled internally. The magazine row reads DISK - 24,30(Chain-40), meaning 24 or 30 tools in a disk and 40 in a chain. Maximum workpiece size is Ø420x 300 mm (Ø16.5x 11.8 in). Supply is 40 kVA.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Two spindle families: 10,000 (12,000/15,000) rpm direct or 18,000 (20,000/24,000) rpm built-in
9/12 kW (12.1/16.1 hp) ISO40 spindle on a 6,500 kg (14,330 lb) frame
Tool capacity of 24 (30,40) with disk or chain magazines
Pneumatic Z-axis counterbalance and internally cooled ball screws

Limitations

Rotary feed of 5.5/11.5 rev/min on A/C is slow for simultaneous 5-axis cutting
A-axis tilt is 150°(-120°/+30°), so the table tips fully in one direction only
Table load is printed without a unit in the maker's table

Best For

Five-sided machining of parts up to Ø420x 300 mm (Ø16.5x 11.8 in) Mould inserts finished with the high-speed built-in spindle Shops moving from 3-axis ISO40 work to 5 sides in one setup

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What are the travels of the Pinnacle AX320?

660 mm (26.0 in) in X, 610 mm (24.0 in) in Y and 610 mm (24.0 in) in Z. The spindle nose is 50~605 mm (2.0~23.8 in) from the table surface, and the rotary table is Ø320 mm (Ø12.6 in) with a Ø50 mm (Ø2.0 in) hole.

02 Which spindle speeds are offered on the AX320?

Direct drive at 10,000 (12,000/15,000) rpm and built-in at 18,000 (20,000/24,000) rpm. The taper is ISO40 and the main motor is 9/12 kW (12.1/16.1 hp), continuous and 30 minute.

03 How is the AX320 table driven?

Pinnacle states that table rotation and tilting are driven by servo motor. The A axis tilts 150°(-120°/+30°), the C axis rotates 360°, and the A/C feed rate is 5.5/11.5 rev/min. Rotary encoders on both axes are in the accessories list.

04 How many tools does the AX320 hold?

The capacity is listed as 24 (30,40): a disk magazine with 24 or 30 tools, or a chain with 40. Maximum tool diameter is 90 (76) mm, the smaller figure applying to the denser magazine.
