Horizontal Machining Centers

Amera-Seiki Horizontal Machining Centers are built to last, offering a powerful combination of speed and rigidity to users in any industry. Our design begins with a heavily-ribbed, Meehanite casting. Add large diameter ballscrews, a massive oil-cooled spindle and wide-stance ways and you have a rigid, high performance machine tool.

Options such as increased spindle speed, high capacity tool magazines, full 4th axis and various coolant systems allow you to tailor a machine to your specific application. Factory testing that features laser alignment and ball bar tuning assures a high degree of accuracy from the first part cut.

Amera-Seiki’s HMC Series horizontal machining center:

  • Our dual-pallet machines offer pallet sizes ranging from 400 to 1,000 mm.
  • Heavy base castings provide a strong foundation for outstanding performance.
  • Standard configuration allows for one-degree positioning of pallets, but a full B-Axis positioning system is available!
  • Our HMCs have spindle speeds up to 10,000 RPM! We can even offer direct drive spindles up to 24,000 RPM!
  • We have lots of options available on these machines including higher-capacity ATC with 120 tools and 1,000 PSI coolant through spindle (CTS).

We have many Amera-Seiki machines in our plant, and we purchased our first Amera-Seiki UTM-12 Coupling Solution over a year ago. We’ve been running 4½” API (8) round oil couplings and find this machine to be the best threading machine we have ever known!

It was simple. They had one (Amera-Seiki LT-50 CNC Lathe) coming in just like I wanted. I went and looked at it and, after their tech showed me how well-built it was, I bought it.

The machine we wanted was too tall to fit into our building, but Amera-Seiki offered to customize the guarding so it would fit. No other machine company made this offer. We are very, very pleased with both machine and the customer service at Amera-Seiki!

Their tech came in and set it all up, explained it and let me do the test cut. (3 years later) we had a bad wreck that knocked the turret and headstock out of alignment which their man corrected in a few hours. We have had no other problems.

Working with Amera-Seiki, you never have to worry if they’re trying to take advantage of you.

I would recommend the Amera-Seiki. It (A-S LT-50 Lathe) is built well and I could not find a better one for even close to what we paid. It’s a good machine.

We’ve been an Amera-Seiki customer for 18 years. We have 15 Amera-Seiki machines.

Excellent quality and service. I would recommend Amera-Seiki machines to others.
