Brochexpress is an independent workshop specializing in the repair, maintenance and diagnostics of spindles and motor spindles on Pinnacle machines — a Taiwanese maker of machining centres, milling machines and CNC lathes.
Pinnacle, a Taiwanese maker of machining centres and lathes
TLDR: Pinnacle Machine Tool Co., Ltd (Taichung, Taiwan) offers vertical, horizontal, gantry, bridge and 5 axis machining centres, bed-type milling machines, CNC lathes and turn-mill centres.
Pinnacle Machine Tool Co., Ltd is based in Taichung, Taiwan, at the heart of the Taiwanese machine tool industrial region. Its catalogue covers CNC lathes, turn-mill centres, milling machines (vertical, bed-type and CNC bed-type) and machining centres of several architectures: vertical, horizontal, bridge, gantry and 5 axis. Used Pinnacle machines are found in European workshops, under designations such as VMC 1000S, VMC 1160, QV 209, LH 500B or LV 116.
Machining centre and lathe spindles
TLDR: On the Pinnacle vertical centres observed, the spindle runs up to around 8,000 rpm; exact specifications vary with model and year.
As an example, a listing for a VMC 1000S gives a maximum spindle speed of 8,000 rpm. The other data (power, taper, belt or direct drive, control) is not stated in that listing: we confirm it from the machine nameplate.
A belt-driven Pinnacle spindle and a Pinnacle motor spindle with built-in motor are not repaired the same way: identifying the technology is the first step of our diagnosis.
