Accuracy.

Unrivalled Accuracy with Renishaw XL-80 Laser Calibration

At Ajax, precision is more than just a promise—it’s a standard we rigorously uphold. We are one of the very few companies in the UK equipped with a Renishaw XL-80 laser measurement system, a cutting-edge tool capable of measuring movement down to a nanometre—that’s 1,000th of a micron, or 1,000,000th of a millimetre.

This ultra-precise data allows us to calibrate our machines to exceptional levels of accuracy, ensuring optimal performance across the entire working envelope. Our standard calibration results consistently achieve tolerances of less than ±0.002 mm, far exceeding typical industry capabilities. Most competitors simply cannot measure or prove this level of accuracy.


On-Site Calibration & Annual Re-Checks

To maintain this precision over time, we offer:

  • On-site calibration services using our XL-80 system
  • Annual re-calibration to keep your machine tools performing at peak accuracy

Trust Ajax for machine tools that are accurately built, precisely tested, and proven to perform.

Most of our competitors are way over this and cannot test it or prove it.
