Precision and quality

The cast steel construction and granite work table ensures superior machining quality and industrial durability. Precision is guaranteed through the great care that our specialists take in assembling each high-quality machine component.

Vacuum workholding and chip extraction

The ML-1500 2c can be equipped with DATRON vacuum clamping technology which was designed specifically for the counter plate industry to hold 106, 145 and 162 sheet sizes. Plus, almost chip-free machining is possible with the DATRON "CleanCut" system.

High speed spindles

Sheer speed and high concentricity result in exceptional cutting performance when using small tools. DATRON exclusively offers rugged and precise high-frequency spindles for perfect machining results.

HSK-E 25 Tool Holders

The HSK-E tool holders developed by DATRON and Schunk feature a stable, rotation-symmet-rical design delivering a concentricity of less than 3 μm. This permits high quality milling results at a speed of up to 60,000 RPM. With passive vibration damping, the life of the high frequency spindle and the cutting tool is signifi-cantly improved.

VacuMate™— How it works

The VacuMate™ is designed to efficiently secure flat workpieces to the machining bed. A low cost, gas-permeable substrate serves as a sacrificial vacuum diffuser, allowing the cutter to machine through the workpiece, without cut-ting into the table.

Vacuum workholding for large sheet material

Datron VacuMate workholding is a very flexible system for securing flat work pieces. The principal of the system is simply an assembly that has micro drilled holes in a grid pattern that uses a flow of air pulling downward through the holes, sucking flat workpiecesto the table surface. No gaskets are required with this system. Place on top of the aluminum table, is a thin permeable card stock that distributes the vacuum evenly while acting as a sacrificial sub-strate for any cut-through of the work piece. The vacuum pump is specified

Air permeable card stock protects table surface when milling through material

Probing technology

Our probes measure irregular material sur-faces and compensate automatically. So, you can probe an irregular surface and execute a program as if it were a flat work piece. This feature is ideal when precision depths are required on large work pieces, such as engraving on a large panel. This can be a huge time saver in the set-up of work pieces.

With the DATRON CleanCut™ System, chips and debris are efficiently removed during machining. Virtually chip-free machining is achieved with vacuum ex-traction technology developed specifi-cally for machining sheet material. This eliminates time-consuming machine clean up. Surface quality is maintained because there is no contact between the CleanCut system and the mate-rial. The CleanCut head automatically extends and retracts for a high degree of efficiency. Because of its integrated design, tool and 3D measurement can be performed without restriction.

Non-contact suction

Automatic swing in/out with parking function

Can be used for spindles with HSK-E 25 insert

based on the application. If the applica-tion requires the milling of holes and a lot of open areas, the pump can be con-figured for this situation so parts will not lift as vacuum is lost. The system is ideal for milling and engraving offlat materials such as Steel, phenolic, aluminum, brass, and plastic.
