Do you need to precisely machine large sheet material?
No Other Machine Matches the Precision, Work Area, and Footprint of the MLCube
You’re Tasked with Accurately Machine Large Sheet Material
Sometimes you’ll need to reposition parts several times, adding extra time and the possibility for errors. Traditionally, a machining center with a large work area requires a huge footprint, is heavy, and is expensive to own and operate.
Alternatively, sign routers don’t have the rigidity or accuracy needed for higher tolerance applications. What if you could combine the advantages of both a VMC and a router?

Whether you are machining a large part out of sheet material or machining smaller nested pieces, the MLCube offers a large machining area with minimal floor space at impressive tolerances.
Some applications include:
- Telecommunication antennas
- Thermal management heat sinks and frames
- Large aerospace parts and seating
- Long extrusion milling
- Thermoforming molds
Run smaller, nested parts or larger work piece jobs unattended with the large work area and vacuum table system.

The Results
“We were running multiple shifts at capacity and now we’re running the DATRON on one shift and we’re able to keep up with demand. Plus, the volume has increased since we got the DATRON in 2011, so we’ve basically increased our productivity by over 300%.”
— Jim Lamson, Hayden Kirk
