As the sole distributor for Ajax Machine Tools in Northern England, Noon Machinery Services will be hosting an Open House event.

The Stockport machine tool specialists will have five Ajax machine tools on show, which will include the brand new Ultraturn lathe as well as a host of peripheral workshop equipment and supporting technology from industry partners.

Straight from its product launch at the recent Northern Manufacturing show, the dynamic new Ultraturn lathe offers options of the Fagor 8037 conversational control or the Siemens 808D CNC control unit. It features a 4-way automatic tool-post, 3-jaw chuck and a spacious 400 mm swing and 750 mm between centres, offered for £14,995.

It will be accompanied by the AJL200 manual lathe that offers a variable speed control with three spindle speed ranges and a DRO system that provides constant surface speeds and impeccable surface finishes. This lathe has an induction-hardened one-piece bed and case hardened gears. It has a 200 mm centre height, 400 mm swing over bed and centre distance of 750/1000 mm.

From the milling stable, Noon Machinery will present the Ajax AJV550 vertical machining centre, offering 700 by 308 mm bed, 7.5 kW motor, 10- or 16-position tool changer and the choice of a Fanuc or Heidenhain CNC control unit.

For machinists looking for a manual solution, Noon Machinery will showcase the Ajax AJT200 manual turret mill featuring chrome dovetail slideways, servo power feeds to X-axis, a 3hp main motor and a working surface of 1,270 by 230 mm.

Alongside the milling and turning products will be one of the latest additions to the Ajax product line, the new Scantool SB30 drilling machine.

This showcase of diverse and flexible machining solutions will be complemented by a host of additional workshop equipment as well as innovations from technology partners such as Heidenhain, Blue Range Tools, Nikken, Zoller and One CNC. Nikken will be demonstrating its range of CNC rotary tables, NC tooling solutions and pre-setters whilst Zoller will also be showcasing its pre-setting, measuring and inspecting equipment. From a software perspective, One-CNC will demonstrate its efficient and affordable CAM solution and Heidenhain will be introducing its latest software developments for TNC controls and a complete selection of DRO controls. Completing the line-up will be Blue Range Tools with its high quality range of measuring, tool-holding, workholding and cutting tools that will compliment the machines on show.
