DATRON MXCube

DATRON’s high-speed 24/7 industrial production machine is designed for complex, precision part manufacturing

Are You Producing High Tolerance Parts?

What if you could make precision, production parts without sacrificing major floor space? Or reduce your entire part-making workflow exponentially by leveraging a robust, high-speed, rigid machine with an extremely large machining area? And what if it was so easy to use that nearly anyone could run it? Whether you’re looking to bring machining in-house, setup an automated production cell or complement your existing heavier VMCs, there’s an easier way to machine those more intricate, precision jobs.

Keep Your Production Running Smoothly and Efficiently

The MXCube is packed with options that keep your industrial production running smoothly and efficiently. With a reinforced steel frame and a mineral cast machine table, the MXCube is a rigid machine. Outfitted with a high-speed spindle that’s tailor-made for modern HSC strategies, it allows for higher loads with exceptional vibration dampening. It features a large machining area for your large-scale projects and has an extremely compact base, so it takes up very little floor space. The large cabin is ideal for heavy plates or clamping systems and provides easy access to all operational functions and clear visibility of machining. You can access the machining area manually, with a crane, or by integrating with an automation solution. Pairing the MXCube with DATRON’s next control system makes HSC milling easy, secure, and convenient. Expand your MXCube’s capabilities even further by adding an external chip conveyor that will automatically transport chips away from the working area.

Easy to Use

With the DATRON, we’ve actually had fun. It’s been easy to use. Anyone who doesn’t have any sort of machining background is able to go to the machine, pull up a program, and watch a part get made.”

Watch the MXCube in Action

DATRON’s MXCube is a high-performance HSC milling machine that allows manufacturers to produce parts faster and easier than ever. Ideal for milling precision high tolerance parts.

High accuracy with linear guidance system.
Rigid, low-vibration design for excellent surface quality.
Machine parts faster with a precision 4kW or 8kW spindle up to 40,000 RPM.

Reinforced Rigid Steel Frame / Mineral Cast Machine Table

The MXCube features a drive train made entirely of steel that operates on 25mm ball screws. All axes are equipped with absolute linear scales, which allow the extremely precise MXCube to achieve tolerances in the microns. There are two spindle options up to a 10 HP spindle producing 34,000 RPM, which it uses to traverse the 1,040mm x 850mm x 270mm machining area. Perfect for mold making, research and development, micromachining, and more.

Machine Parts Faster – Reduce cycle time on existing parts by 50% or more. It’s not all spindle speed either, your entire workflow will be faster.
Eliminate Post Processes – Reduce (or even eliminate) secondary operations and produce showroom quality parts that can be used right away. The evaporating, minimum-quantity, lubricant keeps your parts cool and leaves them residue free.
Increase Agility – The MXCube’s tool cartridge allows for simultaneous loading and unloading of tools at all times. Because the tool changer is located outside the machining area, tools are protected from chips, dust, and debris while machining.
