2008 DATRON M10 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2008 Datron M10 is a 3-axis high-speed machining center designed and manufactured by Datron AG of Germany, built on a gantry-style moving-column architecture optimized for high-speed milling of aluminum, composites, graphite, and plastics. The machine is constructed around a granite composite worktable measuring 40.2 by 32.7 inches (1,020 by 830 mm) that provides thermal stability and vibration damping across the working area. The integrated high-frequency spindle delivers 3 kW of power at up to 40,000 RPM through an HSK-E25 taper, enabling fine surface finishes and efficient material removal rates in non-ferrous machining applications. Axis travels measure 40.2 inches in X, 32.7 inches in Y, and 9.4 inches in Z. The overall machine dimensions are approximately 78.7 by 35.0 inches in footprint with a height of approximately 81.9 inches, and the machine weighs approximately 4,409 lbs. The Datron proprietary HSC control system provides integrated CAM-style programming support with high-speed lookahead processing suited to complex contouring toolpaths. The M10's combination of high spindle speed, low-mass moving structure, and stable granite worktable makes it particularly well-suited for precision high-speed machining of aluminum components, graphite electrodes, and composite parts in aerospace, mold making, and electronics manufacturing environments.
