Datron Dynamics, Inc. Opens A New High-Speed CNC Technology Center And North American Headquarters
MILFORD, NH, September 19, 2005 - In the midst of an extremely successful year, where machine sales had exceeded last years' sales by 2nd quarter, Datron Dynamics, Inc. moved to a new facility in Milford, New Hampshire. This 4,000-sq. ft. building was designed and built out to accommodate both the company's corporate offices and a high-speed CNC Technology Center. Housing a number of their best-selling machines - from the entry-level miniRaptor to the flagship VelociRaptor - this center is more than just a show room.
"Within a month of moving into this facility, we have been able to develop a next-generation vacuum-table work holding solution that is unlike anything previously available to CNC machinists," said Datron Dynamics Vice President and VacuMate II designer, Bill King. "It provides manufacturers of small flat parts with a way to eliminate 98% of the time and cost associated with set up.
The Datron Technology Center has quickly evolved into a think tank where high-speed CNC innovation is developed and showcased, not just for potential customers, but for industry enthusiasts as well.
"We now have a facility that reflects our position as leader in the area of high-speed machining with small tools, and one that allows us to share our expertise with the industry," said Datron Dynamics President, Dr. Walter Schenecker. To that end, Datron has a series of technical workshops scheduled for customers and non-customers alike.
Schnecker says, "Fall 2005 will be busy. It starts with Octoberfest, which is a customer-appreciation event showcasing new technology, followed by a technical presentation to the Keene, New Hampshire Chapter of Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME), and then Maintenance Training Classes for current customers."
Other workshops and seminars planned for early 2006 include "Micro Hole Drilling", "Panel Making & Enclosures", "Industrial Engraving & Signage" "Lean Machining with SMDE" and "Making Chips Fly: Machining Aluminum". All of these workshops will teach attendees how to achieve efficiency with small tools (0.250" and under) since Datron is focused exclusively on this niche market.
About Datron: Datron Dynamics is the North American distributor for Datron Electronic, a German technology firm established in 1969 that has become a leader in the design and development of CNC machining and dispensing systems. Founded in 1996 by President, Walter Schnecker, Ph.D. and Vice President, William King, Datron Dynamics is differentiated in the marketplace by its focus on high-speed machining with micro tooling. Datron machines feature 60,000 RPM spindles that produce low force, feed rates of up to 1000"/minute and superior quality when tooling 0.250" and under. An Ethanol-Mist Coolant System(TM) provides superb surface finishes and eliminates secondary processes like deburring and degreasing while being environmentally friendly. Other features such as the Z-Correction Probe(TM), Automatic Tool Management System(TM) and their proprietary Quick-Pallets(TM) and VacuMate(TM) workholding systems enable batch machining and "lights-out" production. These distinctions have resulted in thousands of installations worldwide within industries requiring superior production of EDM electrodes, hot stamping and embossing dies, 3D mold making, rapid prototyping, 3D precision engraving, front panels and the production of automotive and aerospace parts.
