2003 AMERA SEIKI VAS6 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Amera Seiki VAS-6 is a vertical machining center from Amera-Seiki's VAS series, representing a larger, four-axis capable platform compared to the compact VAS-3. The VAS-6 designation suggests a 60-inch class X-axis travel envelope, making it suitable for machining long workpieces and large mold components that cannot be accommodated on smaller VMC platforms. The machine features box-way construction on all axes for high cutting rigidity, with a CAT-40 spindle taper and gearbox drive for broad speed range capability. Standard equipment includes a Fanuc CNC control, automatic tool changer, flood coolant with programmable coolant control, automatic lubrication, and full enclosure guarding. The four-axis capability allows integration of an indexing rotary table for multi-face machining of prismatic components without requiring multiple setups. The VAS-6 was positioned in the North American market as a large-format, rigid VMC alternative to higher-priced Japanese and European machines of similar capacity. Detailed specification data including exact axis travels, table dimensions, spindle power, and machine weight for the VAS-6 variant are not well documented in publicly available sources, and prospective buyers are advised to verify specifications directly with the unit.
