Welcome to the Datron Dynamics Photo Zone:
We pride ourselves on the quallity of our photography. We have a state-of-the-art studio at our corporate office where President, Walter Schnecker, Ph.D. is able to shoot dynamic photos of Datron machines in action. These on-site resources enable us to accommodate the special requests of journalists and publications -- providing them with quality images that correspond with particular editorial content. If you have a special request or question, please contact us directly at 888.262.2833.

The VelociRaptor high speed vertical machining center is setup for workholding and ideal for high speed machining and micro hole drilling applications where turn around is critical Datron's 60000 RPM high frequency spindles for small micro tools 1/4 inch or smaller yields breathtaking cycle times and surface finishes Datron's unique ethanol coolant has a low viscosity that quickly covers and cools fast moving micro tools and is better for the environment since it simply evaporates
VelociRaptor Bed: The velociRaptor features a 2kW, 60,000 RPM spindle, feed rates up to 1000' per minute and a workholding setup comprised of a beveled boss-in-cavity system. Chips Fly: A 1/4” high-speed cutter (HSC+) flies through 6061 aluminum sheet thanks to Datron's standard 60,000 RPM spindle. Ethanol Coolant: A thinner-than-water viscosity, allows ethanol to quickly covers and cools more surface area (than oil) on fast-moving micro tooling.
Datron's 3D probe measures the surface of the blank and compensates for irregularities to maximise repeatability and accuracy The Renishaw TP20 probe integrates with Datron machine tools and is recommended for complex part measurement Datron machine tools like the VelociRaptor are ideal for batch machining or nested machining due to a large bed size that accomodates workholding solutions that minimize setup time and maximize efficiency
Z-Correction Probe: This Probe recognizes irregular topography and compensates for it dynamically by taking measurements along the surface and feeding data into the machining controller. Renishaw TP20 Probe: This omni-axis probe is ideal for complex part measurement like engraving a logo onto a rounded surface. The 6-way, kinematic, touch-trigger sensing significantly improves cycle times. Nested (Batch) Machining: The VelociRaptor, has a large bed that delivers 40” x 27.6” x 9.6” of machining area that accommodates workholding and facilitates nested (batch) machining.
An opening or cut away option on Datron machine tools allows for vertical clamping as well as positioning of 4th and 5th axes Datron's EcoRaptor vertical machine tool machining center is afforadble and offers a large work area for high speed micro machining
Cut-Away: A "cut-away" option (or open notch at the front of the bed) allows for the vertical mounting of parts — a technique normally restricted by a gantry-style machine. EcoRaptor: The EcoRaptor's large work area of 40" x 27.5" x 9.5" allows you machine larger parts or nest many small parts for higher volume production runs
The EZRaptor :Ideal for panels, machining plastics and rapid prototyping, this entry-level machine was designed to give manufacturers a cost-effective entre to the world of high-speed, micro-machining.
VelociRaptor is quite frankly the only way to fly in the world of high speed micromachining because of its 60,000 RPM spindle and feed rates of up to 1000 inches per minute
Datron has Automatic Tool Management with tool length sensing and a tool database that accomodates many tools and provides manufacturers with flexibility and agility in their high speed micro machining applications The OmniRaptor is the Datron Industrial Strength micro tooling machining center for industrial applications and larger production runs
Automatic Tool Management: Datron's tool checker is a mechanical sensor that measures tool length and can detect a broken tool. The software can be programmed with a macro to initiate a tool check at regular intervals. OmniRaptor: With feed rates up to 800 i.p.m. the OmniRaptor produces optimized cycle times making this machine ideal for high-volume production schedules. VelociRaptor: The VelociRaptor™ provides blistering feed rates up to 1,000 i.p.m. When close tolerances and optimized cycle times are a necessity, the VelociRaptor is the only answer.
excelsior is the Datron micro tool for high speed engraving and machining of intricate parts with superior burr-free finishes
Datron's probe locates parts and material irregularities in the X, Y, and Z co-ordinates, finds centers of holes and bosses, pre-measures blanks and compensates for material variations.
3D Probing: Datron's probe locates parts and material irregularities in the X, Y, and Z co-ordinates, finds centers of holes and bosses, pre-measures blanks and compensates for material variations. excelsiorEX: For applications like engraving stainless steel and machining small parts from plastics or aluminum where tight tolerance and accuracy are of paramount importancethe excelsior EX ™provides an affordable entrée to our elite Excelsior Class™ . excelsior: The excelsior™ engraving and milling system offers an extremely stable, compact machining area for applications requiring tight tolerances and perfect surface finishes.
VacuMate is Datron's proprietary vacuum table that allows manufacturers to secure thin flat materials and cookie cut small parts with limited surface area without having the parts fly off the machining bed when the machine tool cuts through the material Datron smart CNC machines are micro tooling machine tools that offer flexibility agility and versitility through a host of workholding options that are accomodated by large beds and maximized machining area that make batch machining or nested machining a breeze excelsiorGR is the Datron CNC micro tool designed specifically for engraving and milling graphite and other abrasive materials as well as EDM electrodes
VacuMate: With our VacuMate™ (vacuum table) even parts with minimal surface area can be batch-milled from thin substrates and held in place during machining. Workholding Suite: A range of workholding solutions are available for Datron machines. here, a pneumatic clamping system allows for a quick setup that holds blanks securely, our VacuMate™ (vacuum table) secures parts with minimal surface area during machining and lightweight Quick-Pallets™ improve repeatability on jobs with frequent change-over.
excelsiorGR: Designed for graphite and other abrasive materials, the excelsiorGR has covered linear guides and ballscrews with positive air flow to ensure that no abrasive materials can get into the motion mechanics.
