DATRON to Introduce M8Cube High-Speed Machining Center

DATRON Dynamics plans to demonstrate its M8Cube high-speed machining center for the first time on the West Coast at WESTEC. "The M8Cube is DATRON's newest model and represents the company's latest advancements in high-speed machining technology," said a company spokesperson. "This includes brushless, direct drives that provide fast acceleration, feed rates up to 866 inches per minute and short cycle times. A 3 kW, 40,000 RPM, liquid-chilled spindle delivers greater horsepower for heavier machining, as well as the flexibility to mill a wide range of materials. HSK-E 25 tool holders offer precision and <1 micron run out. DATRON has positioned this model for precision, high or low volume production of electronic, aerospace and medical parts, as well as industrial engraving and micro-drilling applications."

"It's been a number of years since we've exhibited at WESTEC, but with the almost simultaneous opening of our new West Coast Technology Center and the launch of the M8Cube, we decided that WESTEC is the ideal venue to make these introductions," said DATRON Vice President, Robert Murphy. The new Technology Center that was opened in Livermore, CA, by DATRON Dynamics this past July will house the M8Cube as a demonstration machine following WESTEC. The facility showcases other machine models and allows the company to demonstrate the advanced capabilities of this equipment by milling "benchmark" parts for prospective customers.

DATRON will also be demonstrating the D5 Dental Mill by milling titanium implant bars and abutments at the show. This machine was first introduced in 2010. This compact 5-axis machine was designed specifically for dental milling applications like complex titanium implant bars, as well as custom abutments, crowns and bridges made from a wide variety of dental materials - from titanium to zirconium. The D5 is controlled by an Apple iPad and fits through a standard 36-inch door.
