Amera-Seiki VT600 Vertical Turret Lathe

Servicing the ball screw on an AmeraSeiki VT-600 vertical turret lathe.

We at Ballscrew Guys love working on these machines. They are generally well built and engineered.

AmeraSeiki VT-600 vertical turret lathe. Ballscrew Guys are doing field service ball screw service to this machine. Straightforward job that we can typically complete in one service shift. The most common issue causing our visits is interruptions on the lubrication delivery. The lack of lubricant accelerates the wear on the ball screw and end bearing components. If it goes unnoticed for long enough, the wear becomes considerable.
