Heavy Duty CNC Machining Centres.

Ajax Vertical CNC Machinng Centre

Ajax has been selling reliable heavy-duty CNC vertical machining centres for a long time. We use the best materials to create a solid, reliable machine that performs exceptionally well. With large surface area slides, stable high-power stock removal is easy and contributes to longer tool life. Please give one of our engineers a call or email us to discuss your needs.

Fitted with industry leading controls, Fanuc 0i MF Plus, Heidenhain TNC 620 0r 640 conversational, Siemens 828D or 840D with Shopmill conversational and the Fagor 8058 elite or the fully blown 8060. CE & CA Marked as standard.

High Precision Calibrated

Our 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

Design

Our range is built on webbed cast columns and bases to eliminate vibration and enhance cutting finish. To aid production, rigid tapping is standard, as is pneumatic counterbalance. In the random tool-changer, an air blast cleans the spindle before the next tool enters, and an air blast is also used to clean the workpiece during machining. This brings together the perfect balance of quality, reliability, and price.

Construction

Because you want a stable cutting platform we have wide ground slides running on Turcite B. So what does this mean, it means less vibration which gives better cutting performance, less tip wear and a better finish.

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.

Quality

Because this range of machining centres is built to a high quality standard without a high price. So only the best quality products are used, high quality is a must. So we use Heidenhain as the preferred control.

Controls

Thus bringing together the perfect balance of quality reliability & price. Ajax works with Fanuc to install the Fanuc 0i MF control with the option on Manual Guide i to make it easy to program in conversational form.

Heidenhain with options of the TNC320 base level analogue control or the TNC620 & 640 controls, they all have the same programming language with the TNC640 having replaced the TNC530 as the Heidenhain flagship control.

Siemens 828D and 840D are both available with the option of shopmill conversational software.

Fagor 8055 & 8065 conversational controls are also available.
