Vertical Traveling Column Mill (VTC)

Do you need higher efficiency than a traditional Vertical Machining Center can offer? With our VTC, the table is fixed and all XYZ machine movement happens in the column.The larger table allows you to place multiple workpieces at one time, reducing your load/unload time.With a partition, you can even load one side of the table while the machine is working on the opposite side.

The fixed table also allows you to work on extremely long, heavy pieces that can’t be attached safely to the moving table on a traditional bridge mill or machining center. We offer our VTC in two sizes to best meet your machining requirements. See the specifications page to find out if Amera-Seiki’s Vertical Traveling Column mill is the best machine for your job!
