The M8Cube features brushless, direct drives provide faster acceleration, feed rates up to 866 inches per minute and shorter cycle times. A 3kW, 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. At a time when shop floor space is at a premium, the M8 Cube has a footprint of only 69″ x 69″. At the same time, it features a large work area of 40″ x 28″ x 9″ (X,Y,Z). This allows for multiple setups and accommodates DATRON’s integrated work-holding systems, automation and rotary axes — all combined and configured to meet the exact needs of the manufacturer.The M8 Cube is controlled by a dynamic Windows-based software that has the flexibility to integrate with third-party software and automation systems. Operation indicator lights built in to the gantry and control provide visible machine status eliminating the need for additional light sticks. Other options include a spray-mist coolant system, integrated 3D probing and automatic tool changers with up to 30 stations and tool-length sensing. The M8 Cube is ideal for precision, high or low volume production of electronic, aerospace and medical parts, as well as industrial engraving applications.
Man i love this machine…. Wish i was a big boy.. 🙂
What type of mill is used for final finishing here? 1 flute or 2 flute
ball/bullnose? Impressive machine
It is a single flute ball mill. Thanks for your interest in DATRON.
Lovely! How long did it take to mill this particular piece?
1 Hour 10 minutes.
Both the M7 and M8 are currently being used by the world’s top firearms
manufacturer. From engraving steel 1911 slides to milling AR receivers,
DATRON offers significant advantages and automated processes. For example,
our 3D probing facilitates even depth of engraving on rounded long gun
barrels. As for pricing it’s important to note that EVERY application is
unique and we custom configure each machine to meet the customer’s specific
needs. Call for consultation.
I want to touch that surface
Woww!!:O
beautiful finish work. what programming software did you use?
Mastercam
What is the part, raw stock, clamping/vise system?
Hey everyone, this video has been really popular and has generated a lot of
questions regarding feeds, speeds, dynamics, tools used etc. All of this
information is available in a downloadable case study on our website. Go to
DATRON, then Applications, then Thermoforming and click the PDF icon in the
