Vertical Turning Lathes (VT Series)
Amera-Seiki’s Vertical Turning Lathes (VT Series) were designed with the high output user in mind. Our turret style machines feature high torque drives for your toughest cuts, while our ram style machine provides a greater level of support to enhance accuracy and finish.
Massive castings and extra-wide way systems assure accurate and stable machining on all of our vertical turning lathes. Heavy duty transmissions, which are standard on larger models, allow stock removal at high spindle speeds.
Our feed system provides superior vibration absorption and chatter-free cutting, even under demanding conditions such as threading, grooving, interrupted cuts and heavy roughing. With chuck sizes ranging from 20 inches to 13 feet, Amera-Seiki has a Vertical Turning Lathe to process your workpiece.
Amera-Seiki’s VTL Series vertical turning lathes:
- We offer both Turret and Ram style machines!
- We specialize in very large machines with table diameters up to 4 meters and max swing diameters up to 4.5 meters!
- Cutting heights up to 2.5 meters!
- Have a very heavy work piece? We have chucks that can handle up to 80,000 kg (88 us ton)!
- Need full C-Axis with live tooling? We can do it! With up to a 50 HP live tooling!
- Our high density castings are heavier with less webbing. This means less harmonics and less thermal variation!
- We have a wide array of options like a 3-speed gearbox and even 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.

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.
