Q: How much does the Pinnacle LV137 cost?

The price estimate for the Pinnacle LV137 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-lv137#price; the request is passed to Pinnacle or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Pinnacle LV137 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 LV137 is the middle model of the LV117/LV137/LV147 group. X travel is 1,300 mm (51.2 in), Y is 710 mm (28.0 in), Z is 610 mm (24.0 in), and the 1,500 x 700 mm (59.1 x 27.6 in) table is rated for 1,200 kg (2,646 lb).

At 10,000 kg (22,046 lb) it is a heavy machine for its envelope. The base has four slideways under the saddle, a detail Pinnacle lists among the features of this group, and the Y axis keeps the table supported over the full 710 mm.

Spindle selection works by taper. An ISO40 head with 7.5/11 kW (10.1/14.8 hp) covers the higher speeds, up to 10,000 / 12,000 / 15,000 rpm with direct drive. An ISO50 head with 11/15 kW (14.8/20.1 hp) runs 40 - 6,000 (8,000) rpm on a belt, or through a gear box with ranges of L40 ~ 1500, H1501 ~ 6000 rpm. Pinnacle marks the gear box as an option and says it is for high torque and heavy cutting.

A shop moving up from the LV126 gains Y travel, table capacity and a much heavier frame, and gives up floor: 3,490 x 3,080 mm (137.4 x 121.3 in) here. The LV147 goes one step further in X.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

1,300 x 710 x 610 mm travels with a 1,200 kg (2,646 lb) table load
10,000 kg (22,046 lb) frame with four slideways on the base
ISO50 head with 11/15 kW (14.8/20.1 hp) and an optional gear box for heavy cutting
ISO40 head reaches 10,000 / 12,000 / 15,000 rpm with direct drive

Limitations

Floor space of 3,490 x 3,080 mm (137.4 x 121.3 in) is large for a 1,300 mm machine
ISO50 belt spindle is limited to 40 - 6,000 (8,000) rpm
Z rapid is 24 m/min and Z travel 610 mm (24.0 in), the same as the smaller LV117

Best For

Die and mould work in steel on an ISO50 spindle Plates and weldments up to 1,200 kg (2,646 lb) Parts needing 1,300 mm (51.2 in) of X and 710 mm (28.0 in) of Y

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What are the travels and table size of the LV137?

Travels are 1,300 mm (51.2 in) in X, 710 mm (28.0 in) in Y and 610 mm (24.0 in) in Z. The table is 1,500 x 700 mm (59.1 x 27.6 in), carries 1,200 kg (2,646 lb), and has T-slots listed as 18 x 125 x 5.

02 Does the LV137 have a gear-driven spindle?

A gear box is offered as an option. For ISO40 the table lists L40 ~ 2000, H2001 ~ 8000 rpm, and for ISO50 L40 ~ 1500, H1501 ~ 6000 rpm. Pinnacle describes it as giving high torque for heavy cutting.

03 How does the LV137 compare with the LV147?

The LV147 has 1,400 mm (55.1 in) of X, a 1,600 x 700 mm (63.0 x 27.6 in) table and a 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) load rating, and weighs 11,000 kg (24,250 lb). Y, Z, spindle options and tool magazines are common to both.

04 What electrical and air supply does the LV137 need?

The table gives a power requirement of 30 kVA and an air requirement of 6 kg/cm². The coolant tank holds 300 L. Machine height is 3,000 mm (118.1 in), which matters for doors and crane clearance.
