Ajax DTC-Series Vertical Machining Centres
Built for Speed. Engineered for Quality.
The Ajax DTC-Series vertical machining centres are built to exacting standards, using only the highest quality components to ensure performance, reliability, and durability.
The “DTC” stands for Drill Tap Centre—but they are just as good at machining in modern manufacturing, speed matters. These machines are designed to deliver fast, precise machining that meets the demands of today’s high-output production environments. The tool change design is very quick and can speed up any production.
Whether you’re handling complex components or high-volume runs, the Ajax DTC-Series delivers the performance, speed, and consistency your workshop needs.

High Precision Calibrated.
Precision Verified with Renishaw Technology
All Ajax machines are high-precision calibrated using the Renishaw XL-80 laser system, ensuring exceptional accuracy across the entire working envelope.
To verify this calibration and ensure perfect geometric alignment, we then use the Renishaw Ballbar system, which monitors machine performance during a circular interpolation movement across two axes.
This dual-stage verification process guarantees that every machine we supply meets the highest standards of precision and repeatability—delivering consistent results you can trust.

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.
