Traditional machining centers with a large work area have a huge footprint, are heavy, and are expensive to own and operate.
You usually need to reposition parts multiple times, adding extra time to the project and increasing the risk for error. And sign routers don’t have the rigidity or accuracy needed for higher tolerance applications. But what if you could combine the advantages of both a VMC and a router?
The DATRON MLCube combines the rigidity and accuracy of a VMC with the agility and footprint of a sign router. Whether you are machining a large part out of sheet material or machining smaller nested pieces, the MLCube’s large machining area with minimal floor space offers impressive tolerances. A simple and easy to learn touchscreen CNC control system means you can start making parts the day this machine hits your shop floor.
Footprint was one of the big ones because we don’t have a lot of room in our shop to put a very large mill. The MLCube wouldn’t take up too much space and what we could do with a 60″ x 40″ work area would be unreal.”
Glen Burston, Operations Manager
Easily run small nested parts or large workpiece jobs with the DATRON MLCube’s large work area and a vacuum table system. Some applications include:
The DATRON MLCube is the best choice for cost-effective large sheet machining with its impressive 60” x 45” machining travel area. It is ideal for projects like front panels, housings, profiles, and other nested aluminum workpieces. The MLCube can also mill non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composite materials. Its short setup times, ability to use different workholding solutions, low power consumption, and excellent price-performance ratio (even for low production volumes) provides long-term and extremely high profitability.
±0.0015″ positional accuracy (ISO 230 tested). Optional linear scales are available for higher-tolerance applications. Please inquire about a full specification document.
Machines include onboard diagnostics. We provide phone support for initial diagnosis, and many issues can be resolved by swapping plug-and-play components. DATRON stocks parts and tools locally in the USA. For more complex repairs, DATRON employs highly skilled field service technicians who are available nationwide.
The polymer-concrete table has threaded inserts on a 100mm grid. Using DATRON’s conical locating system, vises, pallets, vacuum tables, and fixtures can be positioned and mounted accurately and quickly.
DATRON’s vacuum table system securely holds thin or thick sheet material across the entire work area, even for very small nested parts.
Yes. The MLCube supports robot or cobot integration. Optional automatic doors and an automation module are available for fully unattended operation.
Yes, especially for small-tool steel machining (.060″ or smaller). Common applications include engraving, micro-grooves, and drilling. Oil is required in the MQL system for steel.
Yes. The PC-based control connects easily to your network via Ethernet. Have your IT team coordinate firewall and security settings with DATRON.
This optional open front section allows mounting of oversized or long parts, such as extrusions. It also supports an optional vertical workholding fixture and is required for a 4th/5th axis trunnion.
Standard requirement is 400V, 3-phase. An optional 11 kVA transformer (280V → 400V) is available from DATRON. The machine should be hardwired to its own dedicated breaker.
They share the same internal mechanics. The MLCube Pro has a reinforced enclosure, automatic doors, and an automated chip conveyor for 24/7 industrial production. Overhead crane loading is also supported.
