By "Axis" I assume you mean the Japanese. The Germans had it from the beginning, at least on capital ships. According to Dudley Pope's Battle of the River Plate KMS Graf Spee certainly did have Fire Control radar.

The Japanese started installing FC radar sets on battleships and heavy cruisers in late 1944, far to late to be of any use.

I should have much better information in a couple of weeks, when my copy of Norman Friedman's Naval Firepower arrives.
