Ajax Revolution Flat Bed CNC Teach Lathes.
The New Ajax Revolution Manual CNC Lathes Range supersedes the old Evolution range now heavier and stronger. With various CNC control options from Siemens, Fagor & Fanuc. These machines can be used as a manual lathes by using the electronic hand wheels. Then control is used as a simple DRO measuring system.
For one-offs and small batch production the Revolution can be conversationally programmed, using the flexible electronic turning cycles, its quick, its convenient and you do not have to be CNC trained to use the electronic cycles.
NSK Spindle & thrust bearings, Turcite on hardened & ground slides, the AJREV400 has twin Vee slides for better long lasting precision, automatic lubrication, portable handwheel (MPG), Hiwin Ballscrews, high power LED lighting.

Specifications.
Ajax is starting a revolution in CNC turning.
Centre lathe turning has progressed at an impressive rate since the conception of electronics, driving axis and spindles, and computer driven programming.
The AJAX Superturn range of machines, combines all the virtues of conventional turning, electronic cycle turning and full CNC turning all in ONE machine.
The AJAX Revolution CNC machines can be used as a manual lathe by using the electronic hand-wheels, the control is used as a simple DRO measuring system. For the 1 offs and small batch production then can be programmed, using the flexible electronic turning cycles, its quick, its convenient and you do not have to be CNC trained to use the electronic cycles.
You can produce tapers, radii, grooving, multi point profiles and screw-cutting by answering simple questions direct from the Fanuc screen. These electronic cycles can then be linked together to give a complete electronic program.
The AJAX Revolution machines include fully enclosed guarding, meeting CE regulations, automatic 4 way indexing toolpost, automatic speed change and new Fanuc touch screen control.
Machine programs can be up and downloaded through the RS232 port or saved directly to the PMCIA card.
Range.
The range starts at 400 mm swing to 2,100 mm swing, with bed lengths varying from 1,000 mm to 6,000 mm, spindle speeds vary for sizes of machines but all have CSS fitted as standard.
Control Options.
We can offer these machines with the Fanuc 0i TF Turn Mate i , Fagor 8058 or Siemens 808D CNC Controls.
This range of machines follows on from the Evolution lathes which ran for 15 years and before that the Quick Turn that ran only for a few years and going back 20 years and more the Premier lathes which were the first of this type with the old Fagor 800T and then the Fagor 8055T. So we have a lot of experience in 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.
