Cumulative Tolerances & Factory Calibration
Precision You Can Rely On
At Ajax, we understand that cumulative tolerances during product assembly can significantly impact grinding accuracy and machine performance. That’s why every component is built, assembled, and tested to the highest standards:
🔍 Spindle Centre Alignment
- The spindle centre is tested through a full 360° rotation to ensure it remains perfectly perpendicular to the table support
- Maximum deviation tolerance: just 0.003 mm, guaranteeing optimal grinding geometry
⚙️ Precision Calibration of Machine Gaps
- All machine gaps are carefully measured and calibrated to ensure stable, efficient, and precise grinding performance
- Minimising mechanical play significantly improves finish quality and repeatability
📏 Final Factory Inspection
- Before dispatch, each machine undergoes rigorous testing to verify:
- Parallelism and straightness tolerance: ≤ 0.01 mm
- This meticulous inspection ensures high stability under load and extends machine and tool life
With Ajax, precision isn’t just a promise—it’s built into every machine.
Lubrication
Automated Slide-Way Lubrication
To ensure smooth operation and long-term reliability, all slide-ways are lubricated via an electronically controlled pump system. This system distributes lubricant precisely through metering valves to designated lubrication points, maintaining optimal performance and reducing wear over time.
Rigidity & Stability
The core structural components of the machine are constructed from stress-relieved Meehanite castings, renowned for their superior strength, stability, and vibration-dampening properties. This ensures long-term accuracy, durability, and consistent machining performance.
To further enhance precision and extend the machine’s service life, a fixed hand-scraping process is applied. This traditional technique ensures optimal contact surfaces, improving alignment and overall machine performance.
Hand Scraping
Each hand scraper is precision-ground on both sides prior to use, ensuring consistent sharpness and flatness. This preparation allows for uniform and accurate scraping of the machine’s sliding surfaces.
The result is a high-precision, finely finished surface that enhances machine geometry and alignment, delivering optimal performance and long-term accuracy for high-precision machining applications.
