DATRON M8Cube

Your production challenges drive our solutions.

The DATRON M8Cube is a high performance HSC milling machine that is both versatile and extraordinarily efficient at a reasonable expense.

Your production efficiency is the key aspect among many M8Cube advantages you will benefit from:

  • High dynamics through optimized controls with a focus on acceleration and stiffness designed mechanical design.
  • Very high tension power for small tools by using high-speed precision spindles with up to 60,000 1/min and services available from 0.6 kW to 3.0 kW.
  • Rigid, low-vibration design of the machine for excellent surface quality when machining.
  • High accuracy by high value linear guidance, Ball screws, HSK-E 25 tool holder (optional), and precision-crafted structure elements.

  • Technologies

    HF spindles:

    High frequency spindles with speeds up to 60,000 rpm and high concentricity guarantee high cutting performance and perfect machining results when using small tools.

    Cooling/lubricatingsystem
    Ecologically and economically optimised processes with minimum quantity cooling lubrication and correspondingly increased durability.

    Suction - CleanCut
    Nearly chip-free work by means of highly-effective chip suction. No more time-consuming machine cleaning (optional).

    CNC milling tools
    Due to years of experience and intensive communication with our customers, we develop tools especially designed for high-speed machining.

    Clamping technology
    Whether pneumatic or vacuum clamping technology: DATRON systems feature high flexibility, high comfort of use and short changeover times.

    Measuring technology
    The XYZ sensor guarantees short setup times, increased precision and cost-effectiveness by automatically measuring reference edges and height profile.

    CAM software
    All DATRON machines have DIN/ISO standard-complying interfaces compatible with all common 3D-CAD/CAM programmes such as Mastercam, SolidCAM or Pro/E.

    DATRON Machine software
    “DATRON next” machine software offers convenient functions for setup, fast CNC programming and import of Grover 3D CNC files.
