AMERA SEIKI S-60 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The AMERA SEIKI S-60 is a heavy-duty horizontal machining center engineered for large workpiece capacity and extended turning operations. The machine features a single main spindle with 400 RPM capability and 60 horsepower output, accommodating workpieces up to 41.34 inches in diameter and 78 inches in length. The 24-inch chuck diameter with a maximum bar capacity of 6.5 inches enables processing of substantial cylindrical components. The spindle's 63-inch maximum swing provides ample clearance for complex machining operations on large-diameter parts. The machine operates on a two-axis configuration with a 31.5-inch X-axis travel and 78.7-inch Z-axis travel, delivering rapid traverse rates of 590 inches per minute across all axes for efficient cycle times. A turret-based tool carrier system accommodates up to eight tools total—four for turning and four for rotary operations—with one simultaneous cutting tool capability. Maximum feed rates reach 590 inches per minute on the X-axis, ensuring productive material removal rates during machining operations. This configuration positions the S-60 as suitable for high-volume production environments requiring consistent machining of large cylindrical workpieces, such as crankshafts, sleeves, and industrial shafting components where spindle speed prioritizes torque over speed.
