How much does the Pinnacle BX700A cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Pinnacle BX700A 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 BX700A is the heavy member of the BX A group, a swivel-head machine weighing 11,000 kg (24,250 lb) with a Ø 630 mm (Ø 24.8 in) separate rotary table. Travels are 1,400 mm (55.1 in), 710 mm (28.0 in) and 810 mm (31.9 in).
Nearly everything is scaled up from the BX500A. The fixed table grows to 1,600 x 700 mm (63.0 x 27.6 in) with a 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) rating, the rotary table takes 800 kg (1,764 lb), and the B-axis clamp torque rises to 1,765 Nm (1,301.9 lb-ft). The head itself turns more slowly, 16.6 rpm.
The spindle motor also changes. It is listed at 15 / 19.4 kW (20.1 / 26.0 hp) with a 900 ± 100 kgf draw bar, still at 15,000 rpm and DIN40 (HSKA63). Rapids stay at 36 / 36 / 24 m/min, which is brisk for a machine of this weight.
Because the rotary table is a separate, worm-gear unit, rotary accuracy is 14"/14" and the table speed 11.1 rpm. Buyers who want the same envelope with a built-in direct-drive table should look at the BX700. The BX700A makes its case when large three-axis and four-axis jobs share the machine with 5-axis ones. It needs 3,890 x 3,180 mm (153.1 x 125.2 in) of floor and has a 450 L coolant tank.
