ocated in Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.A., The AjaxManufacturing Company has pioneered in the

design and manufacture of forging machinerysince 1875. Since its inception Ajax has built over6,000 machines of all types and has earned world-wide respect as a manufacturer of highly reliable,well designed and engineered forging machinery.

In recent years Ajax has expanded its engineeringefforts in the wire drawing field, plus introducing aline of free standing shears and a line of versatileWide Ram Presses. Product improvements andefforts to modify designs to fit customer needs aremade constantly. You are encouraged to discussyour own production requirements with Ajax at anytime, either at the factory offices in Cleveland, or inyour plant.

jax Forging Presses are produced in sizes from,300 tons to 8,000 tons capacity. These high

speed mechanical forging presses feature the solidone-piece steel frame design that has provenrugged and dependable for so many years. Hot,warm, or cold forging can be performed, dependingon suitable application. Special presses areavailable for semi or fully automatic operation.

FOURPOINTPRESSES

jax Wide Bed Twin Pitman Forg-ing Presses fulfill an industry re-

quirement, allowing for in-line forging,often including the trim operationwithin the press. This encourageshigher production through maximumoperator utilization. These pressesfeature the solid one-piece steelframe design and incorporates all theother featur.es of the standardline of forging presses.

n addition to the Ajax Forging equip-ment line, the newly developed Wide

Ram Four Point Press provides for con-trolled parallel ram motion and an excep-tionally large die seat and ram workingarea. This facilitates the positioning ofmulti-operation tooling, side by side. Built insizes from 150 tons to 1,000 tons capacity,they were developed to combine versatility,compatibility and reliability. In addition togeneral forging, thee presses are suitablefor auxiliary forging operations includingpreforming, extrusion, setting, hot coining,trimming and piercing to complement closedor open die units.

Today's wire drawers are built in sizes fromNo. 0 to No.8, with capacities ranging fromW' diameter to 2" diameter alloy steel rod.

Additional capabilities include the drawing ofshaped materials (round, square or hex).

Ajax drawers have been attached to a wideassortment of wire forming machines suchas high speed headers, boltmakers, chainmachines, presses and shear devices.

Hot rolled or colddrawn bars up to 3" diameter, in a variety ofshapes...square, hex or round...in mediumor high carbon steel, alloy steel, aluminum, ormost non-ferrous materials can be sheared inthe Ajax Instacut. The addition of the auto-matic feeder unit, allows precise length con-trol for a wide range of blank lengths.

The Instacut can also be used in-line with anAjax-Hogue Wire Drawer to form an idealprocess for the high speed production ofdrawn, sheared blanks or bars from hotrolled rod.
