The smart DATRON automation portfolio offers efficient and customized solutions for future-oriented production purposes. Automatic front and side doors, interfaces to internal hardware, external automation and also software interfaces and solutions are add-ons to DATRON machine systems with DATRON next Control for state-of-the-art production processes and complete the product range.
ShuttleLoad
Maximum efficiency and cost-effectiveness in production with simultaneous loading: make the best of your spindle run time by adding the optional DATRON ShuttleLoad to your DATRON MXCube. With the optional DATRON ShuttleLoad extension, the two independently controlled quick change tables move into and out of the workspace, enabling simultanoeous loading of the machine. Ideal for small to medium-sized workpieces with reduced chip volume.

Digital I/O module incl. extended programming functionality in DATRON next
The digital I/O module, installed in the machine control cabinet, is used to connect external hardware inside the machine, such as automatic clamping devices.
DATRON Automation Modules incl. extended programming functionality in DATRON next
DATRON Automation Modules are used to connect external hardware such as a robot via digital inputs and outputs and to integrate the automation into the safety circuit of the CNC machine.
The external hardware on the machine can be controlled by a program that runs in its own runtime environment within the milling machine control.
DATRON next software options for automation solutions
DATRON next REST API
Basic variant - Allows access to operating data of the machine.
Automation variant - Enables programs to be executed, paused or aborted, and user-defi ned variables to be read and written by third-party software.
