Interactive CNC Vertical Bed Mills.
The range of Ajax CNC bed milling machines effectively bridges the gap between small turret mills and larger bed mills, offering substantial capacity at a competitive price. Designed to replace the Bridgeport Interact, these machines are equipped with Heidenhain controls. We have been selling this type of machine since the inception of CNC technology in the 1980s, marking many years of experience. The CNC bed mill is easier and quicker to set up than a machining center due to its open design, making one-off jobs quick, easy, and highly accurate.
The main parts of the machine are constructed from cast iron to provide stable rigidity. The slideways are hardened, ground, and coated with Turcite-B, and when paired with high-precision ballscrews, they deliver excellent results.

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.

Accuracy
Accuracy is very important here at Ajax. We are one of the few companies in the UK that has a Renishaw XL80 laser measurement machine, which can measure down to a nanometer of movement—one-thousandth of a micron and one-millionth of a millimeter. We use this data to calibrate the machine to achieve very high accuracy. If required, we can perform this calibration on your site and repeat it annually to maintain your machine’s accuracy. Our typical results allow machines to achieve an accuracy of less than +/- 0.002 across the entire working envelope, while most of our competitors fall short of this standard and cannot test or prove their accuracy.
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.
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.
