How much does the Pinnacle LV85APC cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Pinnacle LV85APC 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 LV85APC is the LV85-size vertical machining center with a rotary automatic pallet changer in front of it. The changer swaps pallets by +180°Rotation in 9 sec, so one part can be loaded outside the guarding while the other is cut.
Each pallet is 850 x 500 mm (33.5 x 19.7 in). Travels are 850 mm (33.5 in) in X, 520 mm (20.5 in) in Y and 560 mm (22.0 in) in Z, and all three axes rapid at 32 m/min. Note that the feature list on the same page prints 560 for Y; the specification table says 520, and the table figure is used here.
The spindle is the ISO40 unit of the small LV machines with a 5.5 / 7.5 kW (7.4 / 10.1 hp) motor. Belt drive gives 60-8,000(10,000) rpm and direct drive 12,000(15,000) rpm. The magazine row reads DISK / CHAIN with 24/30T(Opt.), and tools can be 250 mm (9.8 in) long and 8 kg (18 lb).
A pallet changer adds mass and floor. This machine weighs 6,800 kg (14,991 lb), where the plain LV85 weighs 5,500 kg (12,125 lb). Power requirement is 20 kVA and the coolant tank holds 200 L. It suits repeat work where load time, not cutting time, limits the output of a single-table machine.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Rotary pallet changer with a 9 sec pallet change time
- Two 850 x 500 mm (33.5 x 19.7 in) pallets allow loading during the cut
- 32 m/min rapids in X, Y and Z
- ISO40 spindle with belt, gear or 12,000(15,000) rpm direct drive
Limitations
- Y travel is 520 mm (20.5 in), less than the 560 mm (22.0 in) of the LV85
- 5.5 / 7.5 kW (7.4 / 10.1 hp) motor is modest for a production machine
- At 6,800 kg (14,991 lb) it is far heavier than the LV85 it is based on

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The table gives a pallet change time of 9 sec and the exchange method as +180°Rotation. Pinnacle describes the mechanism as a hydraulic rotating one, and the pallets are 850 x 500 mm (33.5 x 19.7 in).
02
According to the specification table, 850 mm (33.5 in) in X, 520 mm (20.5 in) in Y and 560 mm (22.0 in) in Z. The feature list on the page prints 560 for Y, so confirm the Y travel with Pinnacle if it is critical.
03
An ISO40 spindle with a 5.5 / 7.5 kW (7.4 / 10.1 hp) motor. It is listed as 60-8,000(10,000) rpm belt-driven, with gear ranges up to 8000 rpm, or 12,000(15,000) rpm direct-drive. Draw bar force is 700 (950) kgf.
04
The magazine type is listed as DISK / CHAIN and the capacity as 24/30T(Opt.), meaning 24 tools with a 30-tool option. Maximum tool length is 250 mm (9.8 in) and maximum tool weight 8 kg (18 lb).
