Ajax Ace Production Slant Bed CNC Lathes.
Ajax Ace Production Slant-Bed CNC Lathes
Power, Precision & Productivity – Built for the Future
The Ajax Ace range of Production Slant-Bed CNC Lathes is engineered to deliver strength, reliability, and high-performance machining—all at a highly competitive price. Fitted with the advanced Fanuc 0i TF Plus CNC control, these machines help you produce more and earn more with confidence.
Enhanced Capabilities for Modern Production
New models are now available with:
- Y-axis functionality for complex milling operations
- Sub-spindle options to complete parts in a single setup
Whether you’re handling large volumes or precision components, the Ajax Ace delivers speed, flexibility, and accuracy.
Built for a Sustainable Future
Our production methods are as forward-thinking as our machines. The Ajax Ace lathes are manufactured in an environmentally conscious facility, where roof-mounted solar panels provide clean, renewable energy—even powering the casting plant itself.
By choosing Ajax, you’re not only investing in productivity—you’re supporting a more sustainable manufacturing future.

CNC Control Options
Advanced CNC Control for Maximum Flexibility and Ease of Use
Every Ajax machine is equipped with industry-leading CNC control systems for unmatched precision and reliability. Choose from:
- Fanuc 0i TF Plus
- Siemens 828D ShopTurn
The Fanuc 0i TF Plus can be upgraded to the Manual Guide i version, offering:
- Fully conversational programming for quick, intuitive operation
- Advanced 3D graphics for clear visualisation of complex machining processes
This enhanced interface makes even the most demanding tasks easier to manage—ideal for both experienced machinists and those new to CNC technology.
Built on a rigid cast-iron bed and base with inset hardened steel guideways, the Ajax Ace offers exceptional structural stability. This robust construction allows for heavy-duty cutting and consistently high performance across all types of material.
To ensure uncompromising accuracy, every Ajax machine undergoes precision calibration using the Renishaw XL-80 laser system. Final verification is performed with the Renishaw Ballbar, which measures circular interpolation across two axes to validate geometric precision and alignment.
All machines are CE and CA marked as standard, reflecting our commitment to safety, quality, and regulatory compliance.

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.
