Ajax Superturn Flat Bed CNC Lathes.
The New AJAX Superturn Range now heavier and stronger with the new Fanuc 0i TF Plus CNC control. These machines can be used as a manual lathe by using the electronic hand-wheels, the control is used as a simple DRO measuring system.
For one-offs and small batch production the Super Turn can be programmed, using the flexible electronic turning cycles, its quick, its convenient and you do not have to be CNC trained to use the electronic cycles.
You can produce tapers, radii, grooving, multi point profiles and screw cutting by answering simple questions direct from the Fanuc screen. These electronic cycles can then be linked together to give a complete electronic programme.
For complicated shapes and batch production, full ISO programming on the Fanuc 0i Plus Turn Mate control is possible. Other control options include the Fagor 8058 Elite Conversational control and the Siemens 828D with Shopturn.
The AJAX Superturn machines include fully enclosed guarding, meeting CE regulations, automatic 4 way indexing toolpost, automatic speed range change and Fanuc touch screen control and monitor on sliding pendant. Machine programmes can be up and downloaded through the RS232 port or saved directly to the PMCIA card. CE & CA Marked.
Specifications.
Turning has become Superturning.
The AJAX Superturn offers exceptional versatility across every skill level and application:
- Manual Mode
Operate using electronic handwheels and axis joystick, with the control functioning as a DRO (Digital Readout) system for intuitive, traditional machining. - Electronic Cycle Mode
Perfect for one-off parts and small batches — use Fanuc’s simple conversational interface to quickly produce tapers, radii, grooves, screw threads, and multi-point profiles without needing advanced CNC training. - Full CNC Mode
For more complex parts and higher-volume production, full ISO G-code programming is supported using the Fanuc 0i Plus CNC control.
Electronic cycles can be easily linked to create a complete program, streamlining production without the learning curve.

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.
