DATRON MLCUBE LS VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The DATRON MLCube LS is a high-speed vertical machining center engineered for precision large-format milling operations. This machine features an expansive working envelope of 59.84" × 45.28" × 9.65" (X, Y, Z), delivering exceptional capacity for processing large sheet materials and nested components while maintaining a compact footprint of 95" × 90" × 77". The system incorporates a high-frequency spindle capable of reaching 60,000 RPM, enabling superior cutting performance and exceptional surface finish quality, particularly when using small cutting tools for HSC (High-Speed Cutting) applications. With a spindle motor power output of approximately 5.36 hp (4 kW), the MLCube LS delivers consistent performance across aluminum, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composite materials. The LS variant distinguishes itself through optional linear encoders on the X and Y axes, providing enhanced precision for applications demanding tight tolerances. Weighing approximately 5,512 lbs, the machine utilizes a polymeric concrete table with integrated vacuum clamping technology, featuring electrically enabled/disabled segments for efficient workholding of flat, thin sheet materials. The control system employs the DATRON next platform—a touchscreen-based interface with automatic tool management, camera-assisted setup, and smartphone-like operation. Additional features include a 143-station automatic tool changer, integrated 3D touch probe for precision part finding, and minimum quantity misting coolant system, making it ideal for electronics manufacturing, aerospace applications, and advertising industry work.
