Q: How much does the Pinnacle LV179 cost?

The price estimate for the Pinnacle LV179 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.

We do not have a price for the Pinnacle LV179 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 LV179 is the mid-length model of the large LV group, with a 1,900 x 850 mm (74.8 x 33.5 in) table rated for 2,500 kg (5,511 lb). Pinnacle's feature list gives the group's travel as 1500 (1700, 2000) X 900 x 850 mm, which puts this model at 1700 mm of X; the travel cell of its own table is misprinted on the maker's page, so that row is not shown here.

Most buyers will look at it for the table. It is longer than the LV159's 1,700 x 850 mm (66.9 x 33.5 in) and carries more, yet the rapids are unchanged at 24 / 24 / 16 m/min. The LV209 is longer again but drops to 18 / 18 / 16 m/min.

Spindle and tooling match the rest of the group. ISO40 means 11 / 15 kW (14.8 / 20.1 hp) and a 24-tool disk magazine. ISO50 means 15 / 18.5 kW (20.1 / 24.8 hp), a gear head with L40~1500,H1501~6000 rpm ranges if wanted, and a DISK / CHAIN magazine with 24 / 32 tools.

The machine weighs 15,000 kg (33,069 lb) and occupies 4,450 x 2,900 mm (175.2 x 114.2 in). X and Y are on linear ways; Z is a box way unless the linear option is taken. Supply is 220V, 3Ph,50/60Hz at 40 kVA.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the X travel of the Pinnacle LV179?

Pinnacle's feature list for the LV159/LV179/LV209 reads 1500 (1700, 2000) X 900 x 850 mm Travel, so the LV179 is the 1700 mm model. The travel cell in the specification table carries a misprint, so ask Pinnacle to confirm the three travels before ordering.

02 How much can the LV179 table carry?

The maximum table load is 2,500 kg (5,511 lb) on a 1,900 x 850 mm (74.8 x 33.5 in) table with T-slots listed as 18 x 150 x 5. The spindle nose to table distance is 100 ~ 950 mm (3.9 ~ 37.4 in).

03 What spindle options does the LV179 have?

Two tapers. ISO40 with an 11 / 15 kW (14.8 / 20.1 hp) motor runs 40 ~ 8,000(10,000/12,000) rpm on a belt or 10,000 / 12,000 / 15,000 rpm direct-drive. ISO50 with 15 / 18.5 kW (20.1 / 24.8 hp) runs 40 ~ 6,000(8,000) rpm on a belt or 10,000 rpm direct-drive.

04 How does the LV179 compare with the LV209?

The LV209 has a 2,200 x 850 mm (86.6 x 33.5 in) table rated for 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) and weighs 16,000 kg (35,273 lb), but its rapids are 18 / 18 / 16 m/min. The LV179 is the faster-moving machine with the shorter table.
