Datron Dynamics Inc. has announced the release of the M10 Pro, a "next generation" in their line of German-engineered high speed machining centers that includes significant advancements in their machining technology. Specifically, the M10 Pro features linear scales on all axes driven by larger motors and drives yielding a +/- 5µm position accuracy and rapids up to 30 meters per minute.
The addition of linear scales led to the development of a newly designed high-speed CNC control for 3 to 6 Axes. The M10 Pro has a direct-drive, liquid-chilled, 40,000 RPM spindle using HSK-25E tool holders with less than 1µm run-out. With a gantry construction the M10 Pro has a maximized work area of 40" x 28" while only using a floor space foot print of 79" x 83".
Added functionality like palletized work-holding and advanced probing is available for manufacturers looking to reduce set-up time and increase part quality and uniformity. The M10 Pro is positioned for applications requiring high accuracy and spindle speed such as defense, aerospace, electronics, energy, medical part prototyping and production.
Datron Dynamics Vice President Robert Murphy, says, "The M10 Pro is unlike any other machine in its class and represents the next generation of efficient machining solutions. Its unique construction offers a tremendous work area with extreme accuracy. Companies that are investing in technology and looking for top quality 'out of the box' solutions usually end up finding us."

- centers
centers
Cone-shaped pins that support a workpiece by one or two ends during machining. The centers fit into holes drilled in the workpiece ends. Centers that turn with the workpiece are called “live” centers; those that do not are called “dead” centers.
- computer numerical control ( CNC)
computer numerical control ( CNC)
Microprocessor-based controller dedicated to a machine tool that permits the creation or modification of parts. Programmed numerical control activates the machine’s servos and spindle drives and controls the various machining operations. See DNC, direct numerical control; NC, numerical control.
