Heavy Duty CNC Machining Centres.
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
For us, accuracy is very important at Ajax. We are one of the very few companies in the UK with a Renishaw XL80 laser measurement machine, which can measure movements down to a nanometre—1,000th of a micron, or 1,000th of a millimetre. We use this data to calibrate the machine with very high precision. If required, we can perform this calibration on your site and redo it annually to maintain your machine’s accuracy. Our typical results achieve an accuracy of less than +/- 0.002 across the entire working envelope, while most of our competitors exceed this margin and cannot test or prove their results.
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.
Delivery & Installation.
Our delivery companies can deliver your machine and offload it with a variety of ways.
