VMC Helps Maker of Rowing Shells in Race to Bring Boats to Market
Outsourcing molds to make a new boat would’ve been expensive and slow, so Hudson Boat Works acquired a Datron MLCube VMC capable of machining large molds in house to get its new product to market three years ahead of schedule. 

High-Speed Milling Machine Suited for Creating Models, Prototypes
Datron Dynamics’ Neo is a compact, high-speed milling machine designed to deliver a productive, in-office machining solution for improving and accelerating the engineering workflow.

Vision System Assists On-Machine Probing for Fast Setups
The camera on this VMC combined with a tablet-like control helps speed and simplify on-machine probing routines during new job setups.

What We Learned at Westec 2017
Westec offered a useful mix of emerging technology and practical applications. This slide show reflects this mix in its eclectic coverage of what exhibitors had to offer.

Milling Machine Combines Interior Camera with Touchscreen Controller
The Datron Neo CNC milling machine from Datron Dynamics is designed to provide an easy and affordable entry to high-speed milling.

Compact VMC Features Gantry-Style Design
The M8 Cube high speed vertical machining center from Datron Dynamics features a gantry-style design in a small footprint.

Datron Offers 3D Scanners for Dental Milling
Machine tool builder Datron Dynamics (Milford, New Hampshire) has agreed to market Swiss company Imetric’s 3D scanning systems for dental milling applications in North America.   Imetric’s structured white-light scanning systems are designed to provide flexible, contactless digitalization for industrial reconstruction, inspection, deformation or movement analysis.

Five-Axis Machining Center for Dental Applications, Operated by Apple iPad
Datron Dynamics Inc. says the company’s D5 Dental Mill is a 5-axis, high-speed machining center designed for dental milling applications including crowns, bridges, abutments, inlays, onlays, telescopes, implants, bar work and even models.  A rigid cast iron construction houses a fully-integrated 5-axis automation system built to hold up to eight material blanks or “pucks” frequently used by dental labs.  This integrated eight-piece handling system loads and unloads blanks for unattended operation.

Machining Center Features ±5 Micron Position Accuracy
Datron Dynamics’s M10 Pro features linear scales on all axes driven by larger motors and drives, yielding a ±5-micron position accuracy and rapids ranging to 30 m per min.

Automated High-Speed Machining For Small-Part Manufacturing
 The M8 is a five-axis, high speed machining center designed for manufacturing small parts, especially those requiring tight tolerances. The center can access five sides of a part to complete it in a single set-up. According to the company, the center is ideal for producing medical, aerospace and electro-mechanical components.

Finding The Right Words And The Right Process
This greeting card giant leverages hand-engraving competencies, digital media and high speed machining to produce press-ready dies so its cards are ready for the consumer's viewing pleasure.

Alcohol-Based Coolant Offers Environmentally Friendly Machining
This micro-volume coolant delivery system uses ethanol as the cooling medium for non-ferrous workpieces. The ethanol evaporates after it cools the cutting tool, so no residue is left behind on machined workpieces.
