Machining centre with vertical clamping surface for large parts

The Datron MV-1500 CNC machining centre, priced from £60,000, is intended for machining non-standard shaped workpieces.

With a unique vertical clamping surface, it allows components of up to 1 m in height to be machined. This 'drop-down' area is at right-angles to the horizontal table, which is 1,500 by 500 mm. The Datron MV-1500 can be equipped with a range of spindles, capable of operating up to speeds of 60,000 rpm. Optional extras include a surface mapping/position finding optional probe – either Datron or Renishaw - Datron vacuum clamping plates, and up to a 30-position toolchanger. Indexers are also available to increase the machine's capability for up to 5-axis operation, with fast 3D CNC control. A full tooling package is also available from Datron, but the MV-1500 is also compatible with other reputable tooling.
