High Precision Calibrated.
Precision You Can Trust
All our machines are calibrated to the highest standards using a Renishaw laser system, ensuring ultra-high precision across every axis. To further guarantee accuracy, we validate alignment and performance using the Renishaw Ballbar system, which measures circular interpolation accuracy in two axes during live motion. This dual-stage verification process ensures that every machine we deliver meets the strictest precision requirements.

Unmatched Accuracy with Renishaw XL-80 Technology
At Ajax, accuracy is paramount. We are one of the very few companies in the UK equipped with the Renishaw XL-80 laser measurement system—a cutting-edge tool capable of detecting movement at the nano-scale (one-thousandth of a micron, which is itself one-thousandth of a millimetre).
This ultra-precise data allows us to calibrate our machines to extremely tight tolerances. Typical results across the entire working envelope are within ±0.002 mm, far surpassing what most competitors can achieve—or even measure.
We can perform this calibration on-site and offer annual recalibration services to ensure your machines continue to operate at peak accuracy year after year.
High-Speed Machining with Consistent Quality
Ajax machining centres are designed to deliver high-speed processing with reliable repeatability and superior surface finish. Every model in the range is built on solid cast iron columns and bases, effectively eliminating vibration to enhance stability and cutting accuracy.
Rigid tapping comes as standard, ensuring efficient and precise thread cutting.
Our machines also feature a random-access tool changer equipped with an air blast system that cleans the spindle before each tool change, ensuring optimal tool engagement. Additionally, air blast during machining helps keep the workpiece clear of chips, improving both visibility and finish quality.
Advanced Control Options – Precision Meets Simplicity
Ajax brings together the perfect balance of quality, reliability, and value by offering a range of industry-leading CNC control systems to suit your machining needs:
