- Inset hardened D2 steel guideways for durability and heavy-duty performance
- Handles large cuts on a wide range of materials with ease
Precision You Can Prove
Every Ajax CNC machine undergoes high-precision calibration using the Renishaw XL-80 laser system. To ensure accuracy across all movements, we then validate alignment and performance with the Renishaw Ballbar system, which checks real-time circular motion across two axes.
✅ CE & CA Marked – Compliant with UK and international standards

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.
The range of Ace Slant bed Production lathes are designed to meet the new demands of industry. Featuring top FANUC 0i TF control with the optional Manual Guide i, the Ace can be programmed to produce any complicated component.
