Milling and drill small parts at high speeds
Conventional CNC machining is not always the most economic solution when milling small parts in batch production, which is why a modular 'in-line' CNC machining system has been developed.
Travelling column VMC has dual-pallet indexing
Vertical machining centre with a travelling column design and integrated rotary dual-pallet indexing system provides higher levels of productivity and output and efficient workpiece loading/unloading.
It is specially designed for the power cutting of aluminium plates.
The set-up area of the M10 is only 1910mm x 1950mm x 2065mm (W x H x D).
All components of the portal machine are optimally tuned to each other, as well as to the target material, aluminium.

DRO trade-in offer extended until June's end
Acu-Rite (GB) has announced an extension to its trade-in offer for used DROs until the end of June, so successful has the promotion been.
The working table, made of massive granite, ensures that the work spindle traverses with low vibrations, even at high accelerations.
Datron said that vibrations, which inevitably occur during cutting, are reduced to a minimum.
The spindle with the HSK-E 25 interface turns at speeds up to 40,000 rev/min.
This allows for high chip volumes at low cutting forces.
Latest vacuum clamping technology developed by Datron ensures high holding forces as well as extremely short set-up times.
It is included with the standard version of the M10.
Also integrated in the standard version is an X/Y/Z probe, with which the zero and reference points are automatically set up.
The machine PC-based CNC has a large RAM, Ethernet and USB interfaces and processes even large volumes of data quickly.
The M10 also has special market status from an ecological point of view, said Datron to manufacturingtalk.
Thanks to the high efficiency of the electric components, the machine only consumes 4kW under an 80% load.
The minimum volume cooling lubrication system works residue-free, so that there are no cleaning or disposal costs.
The new door system is easy to operate and offers good accessibility.
For chip disposal, either a special chip trolley with an ergonomic tilting mechanism or a conveyor system can be used.
