Press release date: June 22, 2012
IMTS, McCormick Place, Chicago, IL, September 10 - 15, 2012 - At IMTS this year, DATRON Dynamics will launch the new "DATRON C5" high-speed milling machine - the best solution for cost-effective, high-precision, simultaneous, five-axis machining of small parts. This will be the first demonstration of this machine in North America.
The DATRON C5 was developed specifically for precise, simultaneous 5-axis milling of small parts. Its ability to machine titanium and steel (in addition to non-ferrous metals and abrasive materials) makes it ideally suited to applications in a variety of industries including machining medical components and micro mold making. The C5 accommodates parts up to 100 mm in diameter and is capable of producing highly-complex geometries.
The low-vibration design delivers superior surface finishes while the rigid 48,000 RPM spindle, precision ball screws and Heidenhain linear scales provide industry-leading accuracy. With a 22-station tool changer, integrated tool-length measurement and a footprint of only 1 m² the C5 delivers efficient 5-axis machining while taking up very little floor space - which is at a premium these days.
The C5's short setup times and low energy consumption of less than 2.5 kWh average results in efficiency and R.O.I.
This machine fits through a standard 36" door making it ideal for labs and clean-room environments.

Joe, thanks for your inquiry. The D5 can mill the standard dental materials ... titanium, chrome cobalt, zirconia, PMMA, ceramics etc. This system is custom configured to meet the customer's applications, so there is no standard "off-the-shelf" pricing. Suffice it to say that this machine is geared toward labs doing a significant volume of machining complex dental implants, and crown and bridge restorations.
