Specifications.
Precision Meets Performance
These machines are ergonomically designed, blending the latest engineering techniques with exceptional build quality to ensure long-term reliability and ease of use. With robust construction, precision components, and operator-focused features, we are proud to say that the Ajax AJVBM range represents some of the best vertical milling machines available on the market today.
Versatile Power and Durability
The AJVBM range features robust mechanical gearboxes, providing operators with a wide range of feeds and speeds to suit various machining tasks. All gears are hardened and ground for maximum durability, ensuring long service life and consistent performance even under demanding conditions.
Strength, Stability & Longevity
To ensure maximum strength and rigidity, our machines are built using heavy-duty ribbed castings. The wide slideways provide superior cutting stability, reducing deflection during heavy machining. An automatic lubrication system maintains consistent oil flow to all critical components, minimizing wear and extending the machine’s operational life.
Powerful Spindle Drive for Maximum Flexibility
The spindle motor features two-speed operation and is driven through a 12-speed gearbox, delivering exceptional torque and greater cutting power across a wide range of applications. For added versatility, the AJVBM8 model is equipped with an inverter-driven spindle, offering variable speed control for even greater flexibility and precision during demanding machining tasks.
Precision Axis Control and Durable Slideways
To provide a wider range of feed rates, all axes are inverter-controlled directly from the pendant, giving the operator flexible and precise control. The slideways are hardened and ground for durability, and lined with Turcite B anti-friction material to ensure smooth movement, reduced wear, and long-lasting accuracy.
Pendant Control.
The machine is controlled from a pendant mounted on an arm. With control of the spindle & axis for ease of use. If selected the DRO is also mounted here.
Optional Extras.
- 2 or 3 axis DRO.
- Clamping Kits.
- Machine vices 100, 150 or 200mm.
