Ajax Superturn HD Flat Bed CNC Lathes
The AJAX Superturn Heavy Duty CNC Lathes series has been upgraded to be more robust and durable, now equipped with the advanced Fanuc 0i TF Plus CNC control. These lathes are versatile, capable of operating as manual machines with the help of electronic hand-wheels. The control system also functions as a simple DRO measuring tool. Thanks to the Manual Guide feature, programming with Fanuc is entirely conversational, simplifying the process. This user-friendly approach is also available with the Fagor 8058 or 8060 and Siemens 828D Shopturn control systems. They come with CE and CA certifications as standard.

Specification
Turning has become Superturning
Centre lathe turning has progressed at an impressive rate since the conception of electronics, driving axes and spindles, and computer-driven programming.
The AJAX Superturn HD range of machines combines all the virtues of conventional turning, electronic cycle turning, and full CNC turning—all in ONE machine.
These AJAX Superturn HD machines can be used as a manual lathe by utilizing the electronic handwheels, with the control functioning as a simple DRO measuring system. For one-offs and small batch production, the Superturn can be programmed using flexible electronic turning cycles. It’s quick, convenient, and does not require CNC training to use the electronic cycles.
You can produce tapers, radii, grooving, multi-point profiles, and screw cutting by answering simple questions directly on the Fanuc screen. These electronic cycles can then be linked together to form a complete electronic program. For complicated shapes and batch production, full ISO programming is available across all control options.
The AJAX Superturn HD machines feature fully enclosed guarding, meeting CE regulations, an automatic four-way indexing toolpost, and automatic speed range change, with the control and monitor mounted on a sliding pendant. Machine programs can be uploaded and downloaded through the USB port or saved directly to a USB stick.
Range
The range starts with a swing of 660 mm to 1,420 mm, with bed lengths varying from 1,000 mm to 6,000 mm. Spindle speeds vary depending on the machine size, but all have constant surface speed (CSS) fitted as standard.

Accuracy
At Ajax, precision is paramount. We proudly stand out as one of the few companies in the UK equipped with a Renishaw XL80 laser measurement machine, capable of detecting movements as minute as a nanometre—equivalent to one-thousandth of a micron or one-thousandth of a millimetre. We utilize this precise data to calibrate our machines to exceptional accuracy. This calibration can be performed on-site if needed, and we recommend annual recalibrations to maintain optimal performance. Typically, our results ensure that machines operate within an impressive tolerance of less than +/- 0.002 across their entire working range. In contrast, many of our competitors fall short of this standard and lack the means to verify their claims..

Delivery & Installation
Our delivery companies can deliver your machine and offload it with a variety of ways. Then either drive it in with a versa lift or skate it in to position. Then once its there our fully trained engineers will level and commission it. Once this is done we will train you in its operation.
