Ajax Revolution Flat Bed CNC Lathes.
The New Ajax Revolution Manual CNC Lathes Range replaces the older Evolution range, offering enhanced strength and durability. These machines come with various CNC control options from Siemens, Fagor, and Fanuc. They can be operated as manual lathes using electronic hand wheels, or they can function as a straightforward DRO measuring system. For more complex tasks or production work, full CNC capabilities are available. This range provides a high capacity at a competitive price.
For one-off and small batch production, the Revolution can be conversationally programmed using flexible electronic turning cycles. It is quick, convenient, and does not require CNC training to operate these electronic cycles.
The AJREV400 features NSK spindle and thrust bearings, Turcite-B on hardened and ground slides, twin Vee slides for enhanced long-lasting precision, automatic lubrication, a portable handwheel (MPG), Hiwin ballscrews, and high-power LED lighting.
Specifications.
Ajax is starting a revolution in CNC turning.
Centre lathe turning has advanced significantly since the introduction of electronics, which have enabled driving axes, spindles, and computer-driven programming.
The AJAX Superturn range of machines combines the benefits of conventional turning, electronic cycle turning, and full CNC turning—all in one machine.
The AJAX Revolution CNC machines can function as manual lathes when using the electronic handwheels, and the control system operates as a simple DRO measuring system. For one-off and small batch production, these machines can be programmed using flexible electronic turning cycles. This process is quick, convenient, and does not require CNC training to operate.
You can create tapers, radii, grooves, multi-point profiles, and screw-cutting by simply answering straightforward questions directly from the Fanuc screen. These electronic cycles can be interconnected to create a comprehensive electronic program.
The AJAX Revolution machines feature fully enclosed guarding that meets CE regulations, an automatic 4-way indexing toolpost, automatic speed changes, and a new Fanuc touchscreen control. Machine programs can be uploaded and downloaded via the RS232 port or saved directly to the PMCIA card.
**Range**
The range starts with a 400 mm swing and extends to a 2,100 mm swing, with bed lengths varying from 1,000 mm to 6,000 mm. Spindle speeds differ across machine sizes, but all come with CSS as standard.
**Control Options**
We offer these machines with Fanuc 0i TF Turn Mate i, Fagor 8058, or Siemens 808D CNC controls.
This range builds on the success of the Evolution lathes, which were in operation for 15 years, following the Quick Turn models that lasted a few years. Additionally, over 20 years ago, we introduced the Premier lathes, which were the first of their kind featuring the old Fagor 800T and Fagor 8055T. Thus, we have extensive experience with this type of machine.

Accuracy.
Accuracy is very important here at Ajax we are one of very few companies in the UK who have a Renishaw XL80 laser measurement machine. It can measure down to a Nano of movement which is a 1000 ’th of a Micron which is 1000 ’th of a Millimetre. We then use this data to calibrate the machine down to very high accuracy. We can do this on your site if required and re do this on an annual basis to keep your machine accurate. Our normal results get machines over the entire working envelope down to less than +/- 0.002 most of our competitors are way over this and cannot test it or prove it.
Ajax turning the world around.
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.
