Vertical Turning Lathes

Amera-Seiki's Vertical Turning Lathe (VT Series) was designed with the high output user in mind. Our turret style machines feature high torque drives for your toughest cuts, while our ram style machine provides a greater level of support to enhance accuracy and finish.

Massive castings and extra-wide way systems assure accurate and stable machining on all of our vertical turning lathes. Heavy duty transmissions, which are standard on larger models, allow stock removal at high spindle speeds.

Our feed system provides superior vibration absorption and chatter-free cutting, even under demanding conditions such as threading, grooving, interrupted cuts and heavy roughing. With chuck sizes ranging from 20 inches to 13 feet, Amera-Seiki has a Vertical Turning Lathe to process your workpiece.

Amera-Seiki’s VTL Series vertical turning lathes:

We offer both Turret and Ram style machines!
We specialize in very large machines with table diameters up to 4 meters and max swing diameters up to 4.5 meters!
Cutting heights up to 2.5 meters!
Have a very heavy work piece? We have chucks that can handle up to 80,000 kg (88 us ton)!
Need full C-Axis with live tooling? We can do it! With up to a 50 HP live tooling!
Our high density castings are heavier with less webbing. This means less harmonics and less thermal variation!
We have a wide array of options like a 3-speed gearbox and even dual ram capability!!

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