2014 AMERA SEIKI VB3 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Amera Seiki VB3 is a 3-axis vertical machining center from Amera-Seiki's VB series, built with box-way guideways on all three axes for maximum cutting rigidity in demanding ferrous machining applications. The VB designation distinguishes this series from the VAS line by its heavy-duty box-way construction throughout, providing the damping characteristics required for aggressive material removal in steel and cast iron. The spindle features a CAT-40 taper with gearbox drive for wide speed range coverage, and the machine is controlled by a Fanuc CNC system. An automatic tool changer and flood coolant system are standard. The VB3 was distributed in North America as an industrial-grade, box-way VMC for shops where cutting rigidity and machine longevity under heavy use are the primary selection criteria. The Amera-Seiki brand built a reputation in the North American job shop market for providing mechanically robust Taiwanese VMCs with reliable Fanuc controls at competitive price points. Exact factory specifications for axis travel, table size, spindle motor power, and machine weight for the VB3 are not broadly documented in publicly available English-language sources, and buyers should confirm all specifications directly with the unit.
