DYNAMIC. FLEXIBILITY FOR SHORT RUNS The DATRON neo provides high dynamics in machining aluminium – especially when a high surface finish is required. In industries with large and small batch production i.e. the electronics industry, bigger conven­ tional machines are only cost effective when they are cranking out serial production parts in high-volume runs. DATRON neo is an ideal compli­ ent to that m equipment, because it adds the flexibility to machine prototypes or short runs of small parts, leaving those larger machines to do what they do best. A further plus of the DATRON neo is its comprehensive...
