Machining Aerospace parts

For milling small tight-tolerance aerospace components to instrument panels and control panels, DATRON high-speed machining centers deliver some obvious advantages. First, these highly-accurate machines feature a large work area to accommodate sheet material while at the same time having a comparatively small footprint that doesn't take up your shop floor space. DATRON machines have the ability to machine most materials including steel, aluminum , composites and plastics like the military grade cast acrylic frequently used to manufacture illuminated instruments. 40,000 - 60,000 RPM spindles combined with machining areas up to 1,020 mm x 2,500 mm facilitate batch machining while features like probing and automatic tool change enable unattended or lights-out production and help to ensure accuracy and quality. Vacuum tables and pneumatic clamping help to minimize set up time. Finally, 5-Axis capability allows for precision multi-sided machining of complex aerospace parts.
