Surface profile
For automatic height compensation when machining blanks with uneven surfaces.

Protected areas
For setting up individual areas in the working area of the machine, which must not be approached by the mold.

Multiple version
For the production of several identical workpieces from a single blank and for serial execution of a program at different zero points.

Sister tools
For wear monitoring and automation of tool replacement during machining.

User management
For the management and control of users/machine operators to whom different user rights can be assigned in each case.

Crosshair measurement
With DATRON next's crosshair measurement, you can visually align components in the live image of the camera. An overlaid crosshair makes it easier to position the workpiece and enables precise zero point adjustment. This function ensures alignment of the component without tactile probing and increases accuracy during machining.

SimPL-PLC
SimPL-PLC from DATRON next enables the automatic execution of individual programs based on the machine status. This function is particularly helpful for automating processes in the machine room and supports efficient and smooth production.

Universal
The DATRON next "Universal" combination package combines three optimally coordinated software options that significantly increase the efficiency and safety of your milling machine. With precise surface measurement, protected work areas and fast multiple execution of workpieces, this package offers a cost-efficient solution for process optimization. Ideal for users who want to make versatile and powerful use of their machine.

REST API Basic
Interface for reading operating data of the machine by third party software applications.

REST API Automation
Interface for running or stopping milling programs by software applications. Contains the REST API in the Basic variant.

DATRON Live Software Options
The DATRON Live Apps enable seamless monitoring and control via smartphone or PC. The Cockpit and Camera app offer maximum control and efficiency in your production. Make your production fit for the digital future!
For convenient access to the most important operating data of your machine with your smartphone or PC.

For convenient access to your machine's camera stream with your smartphone or PC.

With the DATRON Live Remote Link App, Simpl programs can be executed via DATRON Live.

The DATRON Live "App Bundle Basic" combines two optimally coordinated apps that significantly improve your machine monitoring.

Cockpit App
Machine app for accessing the most important operating data and statuses of your DATRON next machine. Interesting for machine operators who want to know when the job is exactly finished without having to go to the machine regularly.
For maintenance personnel who want to check whether the machine runs an error or is about to suffer one. For CAM programmers who want to know which tools are available in the machine’s magazine and what their wear condition is. Or for production managers who want to know if the machine is in operation and what its exact condition is.
The Cockpit App shows you the status notifications for your machine in the upper menu area. By pressing the button, you can see other available notifications. The section below graphically displays the processing progress, as well as the already completed time and remaining time of the program.
Below it, you can read operating data on the vacuum and input compressed air.

Camera App
From now on, you can access the camera of your DATRON next machine remotely, giving you the opportunity to observe the current work progress live without being in front of the machine.
- Access to the camera stream
- Know what happens in the machining area
- Uncomplicated viewing of the workpiece during machining
- Checking for chip nests
- Ideal addition to the Cockpit App

Remote Link App
The DATRON Live Remote Link app can be used for simpl macros. For example, for switching off the vacuum or shutting down the machine.

App Bundle Basic
The DATRON Live "App Bundle Basic" combines two optimally coordinated apps that significantly improve your machine monitoring. With the Cockpit App and the Camera App, you can keep an eye on the operating status and the machining process of your DATRON next machines at all times. This cost-effective package enables comprehensive real-time monitoring and remote control, ideal for users who want to maximize efficiency and control in their manufacturing process.
