Vertical Boring Machines.

Ajax Vertical Boring & Turning Machines

Precision Turning for Heavy-Duty Components

The Ajax range of Vertical Boring and Turning Machines is specifically designed for large, heavy workpieces where traditional horizontal lathes fall short. With gravity working in your favour, these machines make setup easier, safer, and more efficient—especially when handling large or awkwardly shaped components.

Engineered for Performance

Our latest models include advanced features that enhance usability without the complexity of full CNC systems:

✅ Servo-Driven Ballscrews on the X and Z axes for accurate, smooth movement
✅ Handwheel Control for intuitive manual operation and setup
✅ VFD-Controlled Spindle allows near-zero speed rotation—perfect for clocking in components
✅ Simplified Operation offering CNC-like benefits with manual ease

Whether you’re managing heavy-duty turning jobs or want the flexibility to upgrade to CNC later, these machines are built to deliver.

Optional CNC Models Available

For applications requiring automation, we also offer this range in full CNC configurations, giving you maximum flexibility and scalability.

Ajax Vertical Turning Lathe (VTL)

Engineered for Efficiency, Designed for Heavy-Duty Turning

The Ajax Vertical Turning Lathe features a horizontally oriented chuck face, making it easier to load heavy components while leveraging gravity for improved stability during machining. This design is ideal for large and heavy workpieces that are difficult to handle on conventional lathes.

Robust Construction & High-Precision Components

• Heavy-Duty Cast Iron Frame for maximum rigidity and vibration damping
• 4-Jaw Chuck with De-Mountable Jaws, supported by high-precision NSK spindle bearings for smooth rotation and long-term accuracy
• Main Turret feeds vertically at 90°, with adjustable angles of up to ±30°, offering versatility for complex turning tasks
• Rail-Mounted Design allows the turret to move closer to the workpiece, improving rigidity and cutting performance

Side Head for Additional Machining Flexibility

• Equipped with a side-mounted headstock featuring a 4-way tool post
• Provides vertical elevation and horizontal feed for efficient side turning applications

Operator-Friendly Control

• Pendant Control Station with joystick-operated feed and rapid traverse functions
• Pre-Select Hydraulic Speed Control for smooth, responsive adjustments during operation

All machines are CE & CA marked, ensuring compliance with international safety and quality standards.
