The New AJAX Superturn Range – Heavier, Stronger, Smarter

The new AJAX Superturn range is now heavier and more robust, designed for increased stability and cutting performance. Equipped with the latest Fanuc 0i TF Plus CNC control, these machines combine modern CNC capability with traditional manual usability.

They can be operated like a conventional manual lathe using electronic hand-wheels, with the CNC control functioning as a simple DRO (Digital Readout) system, making them perfect for both experienced machinists and new operators.

AJAX Superturn – Versatile, User-Friendly CNC Turning

The AJAX Superturn range is ideal for one-off parts and small batch production, thanks to its flexible electronic turning cycles. Programming is quick and intuitive—no prior CNC experience required.

Using the Fanuc control, users can easily create:

• Tapers
• Radii
• Grooves
• Multi-point profiles
• Screw cutting

—all by simply answering guided prompts directly on the screen. These conversational cycles can then be seamlessly linked into a complete program, offering both speed and convenience.

For more complex components or batch production, the Fanuc 0i Plus Turn Mate control supports full ISO G-code programming, giving experienced users the power they need.

Multiple Control Options Available

In addition to Fanuc, we also offer:

• Fagor 8058 Elite Conversational Control
• Siemens 828D with ShopTurn

Each option provides intuitive operation and advanced functionality to suit a wide range of operator preferences and manufacturing needs.

Specifications

Precision You Can Measure – Backed by Renishaw Laser Technology

At Ajax, precision is not just a promise—it’s a measurable standard. We are proud to be one of the few companies in the UK equipped with the Renishaw XL-80 laser measurement system, a state-of-the-art device capable of detecting motion with nanometre-level accuracy—that’s one-thousandth of a micron or a millionth of a millimetre.

This industry-leading technology allows us to calibrate our machines with extraordinary precision, ensuring they consistently meet the highest performance standards. Calibration can be carried out on-site, and we recommend annual recalibration to maintain peak accuracy and long-term reliability.

Our standard calibration results typically guarantee machine performance within an exceptional tolerance of ±0.002 mm across the entire working envelope. In comparison, many competitors lack both the equipment and capability to verify their tolerances—often relying on unsubstantiated claims rather than proven data.

With Ajax, you’re not just getting machinery—you’re investing in verifiable, certified precision.
