The drop down area is at right angles to the horizontal table which is 1,500mm by 500mm dimensionally.
The latest addition to the range of Datron large format CNC machining centres offers a flexible machining capability that is particularly useful in milling standard and non-standard shaped components – especially the latter where robust clamping is available on both tables.
Tall parts or housings can be clamped onto the vertical T-slotted clamping face with other parts for machining at the back of the machine on the horizontal table. Parts with an overhang can be positively clamped so that, for example, end faces can be machined easily.
Built with a granite table offering high precision, accuracy, stability and robustness against vibration the Datron MV-1500 can be equipped with a range of spindles capable of operating up to speeds of 60,000 rpm. Proven Datron design principles have also been applied to the MV-1500 to provide a compact footprint of 2.25m by 2.4m.
Optional extras include a surface mapping/position finding optional probe – either Datron or Renishaw – Datron vacuum clamping plates and up to a 30-position toolchanger. Indexers are also available to increase the machine's capability for up to five axes operation with fast 3D CNC control. A full tooling package is also available from Datron although the MV-1500 is compatible with tooling from other manufacturers.
The MV-1500, priced from £60,000, is easy to install and Datron Technology provides full commissioning and comprehensive training. The company also offers a full service and applications support to assist the customer in all aspects of programming and machining, turnkey packages on request.
