Equipment To Rave About

4.8/5 Stars

James Roy,
Mavrik Manufacturing

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!

Awerkamp Machine Co.

In regards to your Amera-Seiki LT-50 CNC Lathe, how was your machine purchase experience? It was simple. They had one 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.

Thomas H. Addy,
Quality Engineering

Amera-Seiki’s customer service was outstanding. They invited us to visit their facilities in Texas, and even took us to one of their customers to see a machine we were interested in, being used in the field. 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!

Bill Awerkamp,
Awerkamp Machine Co.

We poured a foundation, unloaded it (A-S LT-50 Lathe), anchored it down loosely and course leveled it. 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.

Bill Awerkamp,
Awerkamp Machine Co.

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. I welcome you to visit our shop, but I think a simple phone call to 217-222-3480 and talking to our machine shop foreman Jay, anyone that runs it or myself will save you the trip. It’s a good machine.

Randy Sherbeyn,

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

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