Vertical Bridge Gantry Mills
If you need more than six meters of X-axis travel on a bridge mill, look no further than the Amera-Seiki VBG Series Vertical Bridge Gantry Mill machine. By utilizing a fixed table and a moving bridge, we can generate huge X-axis travels. As an added benefit, since the table doesn’t move, you’ll be able to work on long pieces while only needing about half the floor space of a machine with a moving table!
Many shops find our cnc gantry mill machines simpler and faster for loading and unloading their workpieces because they can simply move the bridge out of the way during this procedure. And if you really want to increase your speed and efficiency, ask us about adding a dual-ram option. We even offer a twin-bridge option so you can machine two areas of the workpiece at the same time!
Amera-Seiki’s VBG Series Gantry bridge mills:
- We offer huge travels! X-Axis travels from 6 to 36 meters! Y-Axis travels from 2.4 to 5.4 meters! Z-Axis up to 2 meters with 2 meters of W-Axis available as well!
- 5-Axis Simultaneous machining is also available on these machines with Fanuc, Siemens or Heidenhain controls with up to 24,000 RPM utilizing HSK tooling.
- Need a rotating table within the floor table? We can do that!
- With our helical gear drive system, we offer the tightest rack-and-pinion for X-Axis travel!
- Need to increase your speed and/or efficiency? Ask us about our dual ram capability!
Equipment To Rave About
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!

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.
Thomas H. Addy,
Quality Engineering
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.

Springfield INC. (Springfield Armory)
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.
