All main functions at a glance
Welcome to DATRON next. The home screen provides a clear overview and quick access to all functions of the control software. The tile-based interface is optimized for touch and easy to use. Each tile opens detailed functions, and the Next button takes you back to the home screen at any time.
With the help of the CAM wizard, the DATRON next guides the user in 4 simple steps from the CAM program to the finished workpiece.
Including easy setup with the camera and swipe gesture as well as an automatic tool check.
Program management is the central element of DATRON next. Programs are loaded directly from your CAM system and automatically visualized as a 3D part. All relevant information such as the program name and run time is visible at a glance, enabling fast and intuitive selection.
Tool management provides a centralized overview of all machine tools, including type, dimensions, and location. From here, ToolCheck and the graphical tool changer are available directly.
With the integrated camera and touch swipe gestures, the raw stock can be set up quickly and precisely. Contours can be captured directly in the camera image, and position and rotation are saved automatically. Manual positioning is no longer necessary.
The 3D simulation displays the machining process in a highly realistic way. Zooming, rotating, and panning are all possible via touch. Assigned tools are taken into account, allowing potential issues to be identified early.
On the status screen, the milling process is monitored in real time. Key parameters such as spindle speed, feed rate, positions, and pressures are always visible, providing full process control.
The integrated editor allows you to edit NC programs directly. Features such as syntax highlighting, find and replace, and a graphical input interface support both beginners and experienced users. Multiple programs can be opened in parallel in tabs.
If no CAM system is used, you can operate DATRON next in manual mode after setting up the workpiece. A clearly organized menu provides all essential machining cycles such as pocketing, contouring, and drilling. This enables fast, precise machining, supported by the software for safe operation.
In the settings of DATRON next, you can customize machine and software options. These include units, display settings, safety functions, and individual preferences. All options are clearly organized, so adjustments can be made quickly and safely.
User management in DATRON next allows you to create, edit, and manage user profiles. Permissions and access rights can be defined easily, ensuring each person can use only the functions relevant to them. The clear structure supports safe and efficient operation.
DATRON next - Additional Functions
In addition to the main functions, DATRON next offers a range of useful additional features. These extend the control system with added convenience, flexibility, and precision in daily operation.
Below you will find selected features that simplify workflows, allow more individualized operation, and help optimize machine performance.
Dynamic parameters
The dynamic parameters are used to define the required parameters. With the parameter “good surface”, for example, the production process is in the optimum ratio to the machine speed and the possible contour violations.
Contour Smoothing
The contour smoothing calculates an optimally smoothed path within the permitted contour deviation. What makes a fast and contour-accurate milling possible.
Automatic Pauses
You know that? When entering programs you can not stand permanently on the machine.
In the DATRON next simply activate a corresponding auto-pause and the machine stops in particularly important places in the program. So you can pursue other activities with a clear conscience.
Update
Regular updates ensure the quality of the DATRON next software and provide the operator with new, helpful functions on an ongoing basis.
Execute from cursor
If you want to start at a certain point in the milling program, simply mark the desired program line in the editor and start the execution directly.
Language
Your machine operators are international as your customers and would like to switch to a different interface language during operation?
No problem! In the drop-down dialog, everyone can select his personal language. All controls switch immediately.
