1998 AMERA SEIKI DTM40 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Amera Seiki DTM40 is a 3-axis vertical machining center from Amera-Seiki, with the DTM designation suggesting a drill-tap or drill-tap-mill configuration optimized for high-speed production of threaded features alongside milling operations. The CAT-40 or BT-40 spindle taper and compact construction of the DTM40 make it well suited for high-cycle production of aluminum, light alloy, and plastic components where rigid tapping cycles and fast tool changes are priorities. The machine incorporates Amera-Seiki's standard box-way or linear guideway construction depending on the specific configuration, with a Fanuc CNC control for programming compatibility with existing part libraries. Standard equipment includes an automatic tool changer, flood coolant, rigid tapping capability, automatic lubrication, and full enclosure guarding. The DTM40 was positioned for production shops and job shops in the North American market requiring reliable, fast-cycle VMC capability at a competitive price point. Exact axis travel, table size, spindle power, and weight specifications for this model are not well documented in publicly available English-language sources. Buyers should verify all technical specifications directly with the unit.
