Q: How much does the Pinnacle QV137 cost?

The price estimate for the Pinnacle QV137 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-qv137#price; the request is passed to Pinnacle or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Pinnacle QV137 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 QV137 offers 1,300 mm (51.2 in) of X, 710 mm (28.0 in) of Y and 610 mm (24.0 in) of Z on box ways, with a 1,500 x 700 mm (59.1 x 27.6 in) table rated for 1,200 kg (2,646 lb). It sits between the QV117 and QV147 and weighs 10,000 kg (22,046 lb).

Think of it as a roughing machine first. The ways are sliding surfaces hardened to over HRC55, the rapids are 20 / 20 / 16 m/min, and the cutting feed limit is 10,000 mm/min. None of that favours high-speed finishing, but it does favour a large cutter held in an ISO50 spindle with a 2,000 kgf draw bar.

That ISO50 spindle is rated 11 / 15 kW (14.8 / 20.1 hp) with a bearing bore of Ø100 mm (Ø3.9 in). Its gear head has ranges of L40 ~ 1500, H1501 ~ 6000 rpm. If the shop also runs small tools, the ISO40 alternative gives 7.5 / 11 kW (10.1 / 14.8 hp) and a gear head of L40 ~ 1750, H1751 ~ 8000 rpm.

Pinnacle lists a 20-tool armless magazine as an option beside the arm-type disk and chain magazines in the table. Supply is 220V, 3Ph, 50 / 60Hz at 30 kVA. The footprint is 3,490 × 3,235 mm (137.4 × 127.4 in) and the height 3,000 mm (118.1 in).

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How much can the QV137 table hold?

1,200 kg (2,646 lb). The table is 1,500 x 700 mm (59.1 x 27.6 in) with T-slots listed as 18 x 125 x 5, and the spindle nose is 110 ~ 720 mm (4.3 ~ 28.3 in) above the table surface.

02 What is the ISO50 spindle rating on the QV137?

11 / 15 kW (14.8 / 20.1 hp), continuous and 30 minute. Speeds are 40 - 6,000 (8,000) rpm with belt drive, L40 ~ 1500, H1501 ~ 6000 rpm with the gear head, and 10,000 rpm in the direct-drive row. Draw bar force is 2,000 kgf.

03 Is the QV137 faster or slower than the LV137?

Slower in traverse. The QV137 is listed at 20 / 20 / 16 m/min on box ways; the LV137 at 24(30) / 24(30) / 24 m/min on linear guideways. Both share the travels, the 1,200 kg load and the 10,000 kg weight.

04 What power supply does the QV137 need?

The table lists 220V, 3Ph, 50 / 60Hz, a power requirement of 30 kVA and an air requirement of 6 kg/cm². The coolant tank capacity is 350 L.
