2005 AMERA SEIKI VAS650M VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Amera Seiki VAS650M is a 3-axis vertical machining center from Amera-Seiki's VAS series, representing a mid-size model with the 650 designation suggesting approximately 650 mm or 25 to 26 inches of working travel in the primary axis. The M suffix may indicate a production-oriented or enhanced mechanical specification variant. The VAS650M features box-way construction on all axes for high-rigidity machining of ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces, with a CAT-40 spindle taper and a Fanuc CNC control system. An automatic tool changer, flood coolant, and automatic lubrication are standard equipment. The VAS series from Amera-Seiki was designed to provide the structural rigidity of Taiwanese-built box-way VMCs at a price point accessible to small and medium-sized North American job shops. The VAS650M is positioned between the compact VAS-3 and the larger VAS-6 platforms in terms of working envelope. Detailed factory specifications for axis travel, table dimensions, spindle power, and machine weight specific to the VAS650M variant are not broadly documented in publicly available English-language sources. Prospective buyers should confirm all specifications directly with the unit's original documentation.
