Q: How much does the Pinnacle QV117 cost?

The price estimate for the Pinnacle QV117 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-qv117#price; the request is passed to Pinnacle or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Pinnacle QV117 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 QV117 is the entry model of the heavy-duty QV line: box ways on all axes, 1,140 mm (44.9 in) of X, 710 mm (28.0 in) of Y and 610 mm (24.0 in) of Z, in a machine that weighs 9,000 kg (19,841 lb).

QV machines pair the wide four-slideway base of the LV117 group with square sliding ways. Pinnacle gives the way hardness as over HRC55 with over 2 mm depth and fits 40mm class C3 ball screws. Rapids are accordingly modest at 20 / 20 / 16 m/min.

Both tapers are listed. The ISO40 spindle has 7.5 / 11 kW (10.1 / 14.8 hp) and reaches 40 - 8,000(10,000/12,000) rpm on a belt. The ISO50 spindle has 11 / 15 kW (14.8 / 20.1 hp) and is listed at 40 - 6,000 (8,000) rpm on a belt or through a gear head at L40 ~ 1500, H1501 ~ 6000 rpm. Pinnacle summarises the choice as 6,000 rpm for ISO50 belt or gear, and 8,000, 10,000 or 12,000 rpm for belt-driven ISO40.

The 1,300 x 700 mm (51.2 x 27.6 in) table takes 1,000 kg (2,205 lb). ISO50 machines can have a DISK / CHAIN magazine with 24 / 32 tools up to 350 mm (13.8 in) long. Floor space is 3,250 × 3,235 mm (128.0 × 127.4 in), with a 30 kVA supply and a 350 L coolant tank.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What kind of guideways does the Pinnacle QV117 have?

Box ways. Pinnacle lists an X, Y and Z axis square way design, with way surfaces hardened to over HRC55 and over 2 mm deep. The three axes use 40mm class C3 ball screws.

02 How does the QV117 differ from the LV117?

Travels, table size and the 9,000 kg weight match. The QV117 uses box ways and traverses at 20 / 20 / 16 m/min, while the LV117 uses linear guideways and is listed at 24(30) / 24(30) / 24 m/min. The QV117 is the choice for heavier cuts.

03 What spindle speeds does the QV117 offer?

Pinnacle lists 6,000 rpm for ISO50 with belt or gear drive, 8,000 rpm for ISO40 or ISO50 with belt drive, and 10,000 or 12,000 rpm for ISO40 with belt drive. Direct-drive figures of 10,000 / 12,000 / 15,000 rpm appear in the ISO40 column of the table.

04 What is the tool capacity of the QV117?

24 tools in a disk magazine with ISO40, and 24 / 32 tools in a DISK / CHAIN magazine with ISO50. ISO50 tools can be Ø105 / Ø127 mm (Ø4.1 / Ø5.0 in) in diameter, 350 mm (13.8 in) long and 15 kg (33 lb).
