Amada parts & amada turret punch rebuild 

They Don’t Build Them Like did before
but lapis rebuilds them better than they did before.

For decades, Amada turret punch presses such as the Coma and Pega series were engineered to last — not to be replaced.

These machines were designed long before planned obsolescence became common in industrial equipment. As a result, many of them are still producing accurate parts 35 to 40 years later.

Machines built this way are no longer manufactured today.

Why does a Amada legacy Turret Punch Press Last decades longer

Classic Amada turret punch presses use manufacturing processes that modern machine tool builders no longer apply because of cost constraints. At the time of production, engineers prioritized short-term manufacturing over long-term manufacturing. 

Manufacturers climate-stabilized turret disks and deliberately exposed them to natural environmental conditions to relieve internal stresses before final machining. In parallel, they applied specialized thermal treatments to critical structures, including the turret bridge and machine frame, to ensure uniform material behavior throughout the machine’s service life. At the same time, engineers oversized mechanical components and engineered them for durability, not for material reduction or accelerated production.

These decisions directly produced exceptional long-term dimensional stability, minimized mechanical fatigue, and delivered a level of structural rigidity and integrity that modern machines cannot replicate. As a result, this engineering philosophy defines the 35–40 year service life that classic Amada turret punch presses consistently achieve.

Because of this mechanical foundation, Amada parts remain the core of every successful Amada turret punch rebuild. At Lapis Services, we specialize in Amada parts, Amada turret punch rebuilds, and complete machine restorations. We restore and preserve the original mechanical integrity of legacy Amada turret punch presses while returning them to OEM-level performance. By combining original Amada parts with deep rebuild expertise, we extend the operational life of these machines by decades, not just years.

If you are searching for reliable Amada parts combined with OEM-level rebuild expertise, you are in the right place.


The Reality of Modern Amada Machines

Modern Amada turret punch presses — including AE, EM, and EMK series — are increasingly affected by premature wear and shortened machine life.

Industry specialists report a growing demand for turret disk sleeving on newer Amada machines, driven by accelerated wear rates.

Many modern machines become:

  • Economically impractical to maintain after 7–10 years

  • Dependent on proprietary electronics with limited lifecycle support

  • Structurally less tolerant of long-term heavy production

Your Amada Turret Punch Is Not Obsolete

Legacy Amada turret punch presses have only two real vulnerabilities:

  1. Electronics

  2. Normal wear components

Both can be completely eliminated through a full Amada turret punch rebuild.

At Lapis Services, we do not rebuild isolated components.
We restore the entire machine as a complete production system.

Your Amada Coma is extremely valuable! The Amada Coma Series is only Turret Punch Press in the World engineered to punch 3/8 material, 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

Frame-Up Amada Turret Punch Rebuild

Frame-Up Amada Turret Punch Rebuild returns the machine to a condition that meets — and often exceeds — original factory performance.

Typical rebuild scope includes:

  • Complete machine disassembly and inspection

  • Sleeved turret disk (when required)

  • New die shoes, guide keys, lifter springs, shoulder bolts, and hardware

  • New X and Y ball screws and linear guide rails

  • Rebuilt auto-index system

  • Rebuilt crankshaft with new bushings

  • Rebuilt press motor and hydraulic unit

  • New air lines, fittings, valves, and mufflers

  • New grease pump and lubrication system

  • New table ball transfers and outboard support components

  • Full mechanical alignment, testing, and validation

  • Optional cosmetic restoration to like-new condition

This process restores the mechanical life of the machine for decades.

Amada Parts for Complete Amada Turret Punch Rebuilds

A true Amada turret punch rebuild depends on the correct selection, installation, and validation of Amada parts throughout the entire machine.

We do not supply random replacement components.

We engineer and install Amada parts as part of a machine-level rebuild strategy, including:

Amada parts for X and Y ball screw systems

Amada parts for linear guide rails

Amada parts for turret, indexing, and clamp systems

Amada parts for hydraulic, pneumatic, and lubrication systems

Amada parts for structural and wear assemblies

Using incorrect or low-quality Amada parts compromises accuracy, reliability, and long-term performance.

Fanuc Lapis Control — Modern Intelligence for Amada Turret Punch Presses

As part of the rebuild, technicians replace obsolete electronics with the Fanuc Lapis Control, a control system developed by Lapis on a Fanuc platform specifically for Amada turret punch presses. This integration modernizes legacy machines while preserving their original mechanical advantages.

Fanuc Lapis Control – Performance Improvements

Our Fanuc Lapis Control directly increases machine performance and operational efficiency by delivering:

  • Up to 50% faster table speed, enabling higher throughput

  • Faster acceleration and deceleration, which improves positioning accuracy

  • Reduced cycle times, resulting in increased daily production capacity

  • Intelligent backlash compensation, restoring repeatable precision

  • Up to 40% lower energy consumption, supported by Energy Star–rated efficiency

Because of these improvements, legacy Amada turret punch presses remain competitive in modern production environments. The continued availability of Amada parts allows manufacturers to rebuild existing machines rather than replace them, protecting capital investment while improving performance.

When engineers properly specify, install, and integrate Amada parts, they restore mechanical accuracy, eliminate unplanned downtime, and fully support modern control upgrades, including the Fanuc Lapis Control. For this reason, manufacturers searching for reliable Amada parts increasingly choose a complete Amada turret punch rebuild instead of purchasing new equipment.
