DATRON next is the latest generation of control software for our DATRON milling machines. It is available on the DATRON three-axis milling machines and is designed so that beginners and milling professionals can safely operate the machine within a very short time. The swipe gesture operation, similar to a smartphone, makes milling almost as easy as 3D printing. Assistant functions and an integrated camera guide the operator through the milling process in just a few steps. Self-explanatory Icons help to quickly identify various functions. The absolute highlight of the machine is the combination of the camera in the machining room together with the touch sensitive display and an XYZ sensor. This allows the user to set the origin of his workpiece simply by swiping gesture and saves the time-consuming manual input of complex numerical data. In addition, the operator can simulate the milling process in advance in 3D and correct it if necessary. After setting up the workpiece in a matter of seconds, the user can rely on the proven DATRON quality in high-speed milling.
