Ajax CNC Bed Milling Machines

Bridging the Gap Between Turret Mills and Machining Centres

The Ajax range of CNC bed milling machines is designed to deliver substantial machining capacity at a highly competitive price—filling the gap between small turret mills and full-size bed mills.

Engineered as a modern replacement for the Bridgeport Interact, these machines are equipped with reliable Heidenhain CNC controls, offering precision, ease of use, and proven performance.

Decades of Expertise You Can Trust

Ajax has been supplying CNC bed mills since the earliest days of CNC adoption in the 1980s. With decades of experience, we understand the needs of workshops requiring flexibility, reliability, and accuracy in a compact footprint.

Faster Setup, Smarter Design

Thanks to their open-bed design, Ajax CNC bed mills are easier and quicker to set up than traditional machining centres—making them ideal for:

• One-off components
• Prototype work
• Small batch production

The open layout allows for excellent visibility and accessibility, enabling operators to achieve high accuracy with minimal setup time.

Engineered for Strength, Stability, and Precision

The main structural components of the machine are constructed from high-grade cast iron, ensuring exceptional rigidity and long-term stability during heavy-duty operations.

All slideways are hardened, ground, and coated with Turcite-B for reduced friction and smooth movement. Combined with high-precision ballscrews, this setup delivers outstanding accuracy, repeatability, and surface finish.

Every machine is CE and CA marked, meeting strict international standards for safety and compliance.

High Precision Calibrated with Renishaw laser.

All are machines are high precision calibrated using a Renishaw laser to give us super high precision. We then check this and all the alignments with the Renishaw Ballbar system which checks the machine while it is performing a circular move in 2 axis.

Specifications

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.

Applications

The CNC Bed Milling Machines can be used for many applications in tool-rooms, machine shops, fabrication shops and production shops. For milling, drilling and boring with much easier set up than on a VMC the AJCBM range hit the mark for all types of precision work.
