AMERA SEIKI S-38 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The Amera Seiki S-38 is a precision heavy-duty CNC turning center engineered for mid-to-large part production. Featuring a robust single main spindle with 50 horsepower and 1,000 RPM capability, this machine accommodates workpieces up to 28.55 inches in turning diameter and 78 inches in maximum turning length, with an 18-inch chuck diameter supporting bar stock up to 4.6 inches. The machine's substantial 35.43-inch swing over bed provides exceptional rigidity and stability for consistent high-precision machining. The turret-based tool carrier system manages up to 12 turning tools and 12 rotary tools, enabling single-setup contouring and complex geometry production. With two controlled axes (X and Z travel at 20.27 and 90 inches respectively), the machine delivers rapid traverse rates of 590 inches per minute across all axes, optimizing cycle times. The S-38's construction emphasizes strength and stability for demanding roughing and finishing operations, making it suitable for heavy workloads in automotive, industrial, and oil & gas applications. Optional enhancements include live tooling, Y-axis capability for enhanced part complexity, and enlarged spindle bore configurations. This USA-manufactured platform represents a versatile solution combining affordability with performance for shops requiring universal heavy-duty turning capabilities without premium pricing.
