DATRON neo

The Only High Performance, Out-Of-The-Box CNC System That Fits Through a Standard Door

Simplify and Speed Up Complex Part Making

Machining complex, detailed parts on large, heavy machining centers that were designed to manufacture a wide range of parts can be challenging.

VMCs use large cutting tools and have excessive size and weight that just isn’t needed for smaller tooling. In addition, traditional VMCs require expertise that can be difficult to find and costly to employ. But what if you could make parts faster and easier with a system that was specifically designed for machining complex parts? What if you could reduce your entire part-making workflow exponentially? And what if it was so easy to use, nearly anyone could run it?

Whether you’re looking to bring production in-house or complement your existing heavier VMCs, there’s an easier way to make those more detailed and difficult jobs. The DATRON M8Cube will help you optimize your machining workflow for complex parts by ensuring you can effortlessly set up jobs in minutes and reduce (or even eliminate) secondary operations.

Faster, Better Parts

Having this technology has been a huge leap for us as a company. I think the biggest advantage we’ve seen with the neo is the reliability of the machine. Our prototype time is down 50%. The DATRON neo is 20% faster in cycle time with far better detail and quality in the finished part.”

Nathan Dosmann – President, Dec-O-Art

Watch the neo in Action

Want to prototype in-house and get to market faster? With the neo, you can design, mill, test, revise, and repeat in a day vs. waiting weeks for outsourcing.

Spindle speeds up to 40,000 RPM.
Uses less energy than a standard hand-held hair dryer.
CAM Assistant walks you through 4 easy steps to a finished part.

Machine Precision Metal Parts in a Lab or Office Environment

Do precision machining (micron tolerances) in aluminum and other materials with the DATRON neo. Produce high surface quality finishes in a fraction of the time compared to a conventional CNC. The neo is ideal in research and development environments or industries making small parts in both large and small production volumes, like the electronics and medical industries. Larger conventional CNC machines are heavy, messy, and complicated to operate. The neo is an ideal system for the non-machinist or a production environment when you do not need a multi-ton machine tool to manufacture small, precision metal parts.

Mill Just About Anywhere – Install the neo where you need it. The neo fits through standard office doors and elevators and runs on 230-volt single phase power.
Achieve Picture-Perfect Precision – Control the built-in camera with augmented reality and simple fingertip gestures, just like using your smartphone.
Begin Milling Almost Immediately – This small, yet powerful, 3-axis mill features an easy 4 step workflow and practically skips the machining learning curve.
