Universal Milling Machines

 

The Ajax range of universal milling machines, like their predecessors, are ideal for use in any enviroment catering to both maintenance and production requirements.

The machines are ergonomically designed, combining the latest design techniques with the highest standard of quality engineering, reliability in service, accuracy and rigidity of machine. The entire 'A' range includes infinitely variable speeds enabling the operator to machine a wider variety of more sophisticated materials.

4A. Universal Milling Head with Quil Travel

 

Pendant Control
A pendant control is supplied on all models allowing greater flexibility of operation to the user. 1A has a 12 speed gearbox manually selected from the side of the machine.
Speed Control
2A-4A models have variable speeds 35-1800rpm which is actuated by selecting one of the two speed bands and then utilising the handwheel situated on the main column until the appropriate speed is selected. The speed will be digitally indicated on the pendant control panel.
Backlash Eliminator
A backlash eliminator is provided on all models to allow climb milling operations to be performed easily.
Feed Control
Model 1A has an 8 speed gearbox, 2A has infinitely variable feed selection on 0-1200mm/min in the x- and y- axis. The feed selection is actuated through a rheostat situated on the pendant control. A digital display will confirm the feed being operated.
Model 4A - The feed selection on this heavier duty machine is undertaken manually by a rotating dial through a two colour band selector through the 12 feeds, 20-920mm/min. Rapid traverse override, 2600mm/min is easily obtained by a lever mechanism on the left hand side of the knee. One shot lubrication to the ways provided.
Electrical Control Panel
The electrical control panel is fitted with a safety isolating switch which must be I the 'OFF' position before the panel can be opened. High quality contactors and relays are used throughout, with replacements readily available worldwide.
Universal Heads
To increase the versatility of these rigid machines, two styles of universal head are available - a standard configuration with hinged bracket and spindle of size ISO.40, and a universal head with downfeed incorporating an ISO.40 spindle having 60mm of hand quill feed.
