Datron Dynamics, Inc. is introducing its newest CNC machine, the VelociRaptor, which features a 60,000 RPM spindle, feed rates of up to 1,000 in. /minute, and a proprietary modular workholding solution called Quick-Pallets. With a working envelope of 40 in. x 30 in. x 6 in., the VelociRaptor provides room for fixturing and job setup while taking up 70 in. x 60 in. of floor space. The vibration-dampening solid granite machine table is equipped with a built-in 30-tool, Automatic Tool Management System that is protected from chips and debris. A 36 in. knock-out can be included.
The VelociRaptor's 60,000 RPM spindle produces low force and quality when tooling 0.250 in. and under. An integrated Ethanol-Mist Coolant System provides for smooth surface finishes and eliminates secondary processes like de-burring or de-greasing to further improve cycle times. Datron's Microsoft Windows-based controller works with virtually any CAD/CAM software and offers Ethernet networking capability, as well as remote monitoring and control, allowing the machine to seamlessly integrate into any manufacturing environment.
The VelociRaptor includes the proprietary Quick-Pallets workholding technology as a built-in and standard feature that provides manufacturers with reduced job setup and job changeover times. A lightweight, manual pallet changer facilitates batch machining and "lights-out" production rather than single-part production. To insure X,Y,Z location repeatability, the VelociRaptor's pallets are registered using a beveled-boss in-cavity system. Options include various spindles up to 4.5kw and up to 60,000 RPM, 4th and 5th axes, a pick and place system, several 3D probing options, integrated edge-finding capabilities and C-height surface mapping.
