Vertical Machining Centers
Amera-Seiki started making Vertical Machining Centers in 1991. They consistently rate as top performers in their category. Our latest generation of vertical machining centers has all that you’d expect from Amera-Seiki. We have been the premium creator of all types of CNC machinery since our first machine!
Our roller-type linear guideway machines offer a wide range of speed and rigidity, while our box way models are available for your toughest applications. High torque spindle motors and servo systems assure smooth, vibration-free cuts in your hardest materials.
All of our models come standard with a fast, trouble-free arm style tool changer.
Options available include:
- Specialized coolant systems
- High speed spindle upgrades
- Fourth axis rotary tables
- Probing systems
Top Quality Vertical Machining Centers
- Choose from box ways or linear ways to get the machine that’s perfect for your needs.
- If you need power, we can offer up to 35 HP motors on our VMCs.
- With castings that are 25% heavier than similar machines from other manufacturers, our VMCs will provide superior strength for machining quality with less chatter.
- Fanuc controls are standard. We even have conversational programming available.
- Our double-nut ball screws use two sets of thrust bearings for incredible accuracy and repeatability.
- Need additional options like a fourth axis table or 1000 PSI Coolant Through Spindle (CTS)? We can assist with that as well.
Equipment To Rave About
James Roy,
Mavrik Manufacturing
We have many Amera-Seiki machines in our plant, and we purchased our first Amera-Seiki UTM-12 Coupling Solution over a year ago. We’ve been running 4½” API (8) round oil couplings and find this machine to be the best threading machine we have ever known!
Bill Awerkamp,
Awerkamp Machine Co.
It was simple. They had one (Amera-Seiki LT-50 CNC Lathe) coming in just like I wanted. I went and looked at it and, after their tech showed me how well-built it was, I bought it.
Thomas H. Addy,
Quality Engineering
The machine we wanted was too tall to fit into our building, but Amera-Seiki offered to customize the guarding so it would fit. No other machine company made this offer. We are very, very pleased with both machine and the customer service at Amera-Seiki!
Bill Awerkamp,
Awerkamp Machine Co.
Their tech came in and set it all up, explained it and let me do the test cut. (3 years later) we had a bad wreck that knocked the turret and headstock out of alignment which their man corrected in a few hours. We have had no other problems.
Chuck Lord,
Innovation Machining Corp.
Working with Amera-Seiki, you never have to worry if they’re trying to take advantage of you.
Bill Awerkamp,
Awerkamp Machine Co.
I would recommend the Amera-Seiki. It (A-S LT-50 Lathe) is built well and I could not find a better one for even close to what we paid. It’s a good machine.
Randy Sherbeyn,
Springfield INC. (Springfield Armory)
We’ve been an Amera-Seiki customer for 18 years. We have 15 Amera-Seiki machines.
Ford B. Cauffiel,
American Steel Products Company
Excellent quality and service. I would recommend Amera-Seiki machines to others.
