The PINNACLE AX450 machining center is a 5-axis machine with a rotary-tilting table. The machine frame is constructed of ribbed Meehanite cast iron. The headstock is equipped with a pneumatic counterbalance, which significantly minimizes vibration of the column and headstock itself during dynamic changes in direction. 5-axis machining allows for the production of complex shapes in a single setup, increasing accuracy and reducing machining time.
Linear roller guides and optional linear scales enable high dynamic axis movement and high positioning accuracy.
To enhance machining accuracy and smooth motion, the machine headstock and ball screws are oil-cooled.
The AX series machines are available with three worktable sizes: ø320, ø400, and ø500mm. The machining centers can be equipped with Heidenhain, Sinumerik, or Fagor controls. If the workpiece does not require 5-axis interpolation, it is possible to order a 4+1 machine (4 interpolated axes + 1 indexed), which will significantly reduce the purchase costs.   
AX series – 5-axis machining centers with a tilting rotary table
- ISO40 spindle taper
- Integrated tilting rotary table – A and C axes
- Table tilt – A axis range: -110° to +110°
- Table rotation – C axis operating a full 360°

Main features of the AX series
- The main structural components are made of high-quality Meehanite (FC-30) iron castings.
- Precision "P" class linear guides use rollers instead of traditional balls, significantly increasing their stiffness and load capacity.
- Travel speeds of 30/30/24 m/min in the X/Y/Z axes.
- The spindle features high-precision P4 class bearings. The spindle provides a wide range of machining operations and high speeds.
- The spindle's oil cooling circuit prevents thermal expansion and ensures optimal machining conditions.
- Table tilt – A axis – ranges from -110° to +110°.
- Table rotation – C axis operates a full 360°.
- Worktable diameter: 500mm.
- Optional HEIDENHAIN linear scales – double-loop feedback – ensure maximum feed precision.
- Machines designed for use in the aviation, aerospace, and medical industries, for all workpieces requiring maximum precision.
- Worktable tilt and rotation are achieved by servomotors, through worm gears with backlash compensation. Positioning accuracy for the A/C axes is 15"/10", respectively, and positioning repeatability is 10"/5".
