Amera Seiki VB-42 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

The Amera Seiki VB-42 Vertical Machining Center is a high-performance 3-axis CNC machine designed for heavy-duty milling applications. Featuring a robust cast iron construction, it supports a large worktable measuring 157" x 118" (optionally expandable to 236" x 118") and can accommodate workpieces up to 44,000 lbs, making it ideal for large-scale industrial machining. The machine is equipped with a vertical BT50 spindle capable of 6,000 RPM and a 30 HP (30-minute rating) motor, delivering high torque and precision for demanding cutting tasks. Tooling is managed by a 24-station automatic tool changer (ATC), ensuring efficient tool exchange and reduced downtime. The VB-42 offers generous travel distances: 165" (optionally 236") on the X-axis, 165" on the Y-axis, and 43.3" (optionally 55.11") on the Z-axis, with a maximum feed rate of 472 IPM and rapid traverse speeds up to 945 IPM on all axes, enabling fast and accurate material removal. The machine does not include a pallet changer, index table, or rotary table, focusing on straightforward, high-capacity vertical machining. Its rigid structure, combined with high-speed axis movement and a powerful spindle, ensures excellent surface finishes and dimensional accuracy across a wide range of materials and part sizes.
