The intuitive CNC control for maximum precision and outstanding ease of use
DATRON next is the next-generation CNC control system for DATRON milling machines. It combines modern touch operation with intelligent assistance and realistic 3D visualization. Clear structures, guided workflows, and integrated camera technology ensure maximum safety and efficiency from the first program selection to the active milling process. This makes high-speed precision milling simple and reliable for beginners and professionals alike.
Milling has never been this easy
Intuitive. Visual. Safe.
DATRON next combines modern touch-based operation with intelligent process guidance, making complex machining operations clear, transparent, and easy to control from the first click to the running milling process.
Five steps to the finished part!
1. Select and load the program
A clearly structured, easy-to-navigate program manager helps you quickly find the right job. Programs are displayed in a logical, transparent way, and key details such as the program name and a visual preview are available at a glance for safe and efficient selection.
2. Intelligent tool management
The automatic tool check compares your CAM data with the tools actually available on the machine and alerts you early to any mismatches. If needed, you will receive suitable alternative tool suggestions so you can start your milling process smoothly and with confidence.
3. Set up the workpiece in seconds
With DATRON next, workpiece setup is especially simple and convenient. The combination of an integrated camera, intuitive touchscreen controls, and a 3D touch probe (XYZ sensor) lets you define your work offset quickly and precisely even without prior milling experience.
4. Check and understand the 3D simulation
The integrated 3D simulation lets you verify your machining operation before you start. Toolpaths are calculated using real tool data and visualized realistically, helping you detect and avoid potential collisions early.
5. Start and monitor the milling process
The status display brings all key information together in one clear overview: machine and tool status, machining progress, as well as coolant and vacuum systems. This makes it easy to spot deviations immediately and respond right away when needed for maximum control and process reliability.
