In Their Own Words
(Customers Speak Out):
Since purchasing the DATRON milling and engraving system, our productivity at Sign Systems has increased by 60%. Jobs that used to take our team a week to complete are now finished by Tuesday evening! Not only has this machine helped us to increase our productivity, it has been pivotal in allowing us to expand the scope of jobs that we pursue. Due to its exceptional functionality and ease of operation, the DATRON allows me to take on the most challenging jobs with ease. It has added years back on to my life!

I am writing this letter as a follow-up to our purchase of a CAT3D M5 to let you know how satisfied we are with our DATRON M5 machine.

When we are ready to order another milling machine, Datron will receive another order. All contacts at your company are extremely helpful in all aspects of this business. I have always enjoyed your technical expertise when it comes to running the DATRON. Many times we operate the Datron around the clock when it comes to the intricate work that we require for our moulds. Anytime you would like to refer someone who maybe interested in purchasing a DATRON to me, or, if you would like to bring someone out for demonstration, please do so. Let me know of anything that I can do to help you as you have done so much for me. Thank you!

Firearms Manufacturers Add Probing:
While many 3D engraving applications benifit from our probing capability, firearms manufacturers need it to c ontrol the depth of their engraving ... especially on rounded surfaces like barrels and receivers. Probing saves time during job setup and ensures accuracy and repeatability. Probes available as an integrated component on our stainless steel engravers and routers can recognize irregular work-piece topography and compensate for it dynamically. They do this by taking measurements along the surface of a blank and feeding that data into the machining controller. The controller automatically adjusts for uneven surfaces or work piece position. Through this process, job setup times are reduced and piece/part rejection is minimized. With a 3D extension, the probe locates parts and material irregularities in the X, Y, and Z co-ordinates, finds centers of holes and bosses, pre-measures blanks before the machining starts, compensates for material variations, feeds data into ISO 9000 information chain for quality control, and even allows for the reverse engineering of many parts.

Maintain Even Depth of Engraving ... Even on Rounded Surfaces!
