DATRON MXCube

Overview

The DATRON MXCube is described as a high-speed 24/7 industrial production machine with a reinforced steel frame and a mineral cast machine table. Its drive train is made entirely of steel and operates on 25mm ball screws, and all axes are equipped with absolute linear scales. The machining area measures 1,040mm x 850mm x 270mm. Spindle configurations include two options: up to a 10 HP spindle producing 34,000 RPM, and a precision 4kW or 8kW spindle up to 40,000 RPM; the spindle is described as tailor-made for modern HSC strategies and allows higher loads with exceptional vibration dampening. Positional accuracy is listed as ±0.0002″ positional accuracy (ISO 230 tested). The machine weight is given as just over 8,000 lbs. Collet options are e-25 HSK or e-32 HSK, and holders are available for shanks from 3mm / 124833 up to 25mm / 12033. The tool cartridge allows for simultaneous loading and unloading of tools at all times, with the tool changer located outside the machining area. The MXCube uses DATRON’s next control system and can be fitted with an external chip conveyor (optional); it supports full automation features including automatic doors, advanced chip management, and an optional automation module for robot/cobot communication. The MXCube is presented for complex, precision part manufacturing and for milling precision high tolerance parts. Explicitly listed applications include mold making, research and development, micromachining, and high-volume, high-precision machining in materials like aluminum and other non-ferrous metals. The product page cites common end markets as Electronics, Telecommunications, Aerospace & Defense and Medical manufacturing, and it is positioned for use cases such as bringing machining in-house, setting up an automated production cell, or complementing existing heavier VMCs.
