Vertical Machining Centers

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.

“We have multiple machines by Amera-Seiki and have had them for many years. They have required very little maintenance and we’ve experienced very little down-time, compared with other machine brands.”
