Overview
The DATRON MLmax Pro is the largest DATRON machining centre. Designed for large-sheet machining and handling large parts or clustered small parts, it combines high feed rates, rigid structure and measurement feedback on X/Y to support demanding production requirements.

MLmax Pro — Key features and updates
The MLmax Pro delivers modularity, productivity and the precision expected from DATRON high-speed machining centres. Marketing material cites useful travels of 3000 × 1500 × 200 mm while the technical sheet indicates 1570 × 3160 × 245 mm. Feed rates are stated up to 50 m/min in the product text and up to 60 m/min in the technical sheet. Linear scales on X/Y are reported for improved positional accuracy.

Benefits

• High dynamics and rigidity: optimized design with reduced friction in new drives for improved dynamic response.
• High feed capability: marketing mentions up to 50 m/min; technical documentation up to 60 m/min.
• Accuracy across the machining area: optimized steel frame with UHPC concrete mass and a steel worktable (35 mm table thickness referenced) to reduce vibration.
• Intuitive control: autonomous DATRON next control terminal with 24" touchscreen (adjustable position, height and tilt) and optional second display.
• Modularity: compatible with a wide range of DATRON accessories (modular fixturing, additional axes, sensors, tool magazines, etc.).
• Integrated minimum quantity lubrication: integrated tank(s) and spray ring for efficient microlubrication.

Accessories and available options

• High-frequency spindles: HF spindle variants 1.8–4.0 kW; up to 48,000 rpm; HSK‑E25 interface; spindle selection per application (engraving, small parts, versatility).
• Tool magazines: standard 12-position HSK‑E25 magazine (up to 36 positions optional); tool length probe optional.
• Lubrication: DATRON microlubrication system with integrated 1 × 10 L or 2 × 10 L tank, spray ring with 4 nozzles; compatible with various lubricants.
• Workholding technology: pneumatic and mechanical clamps, vacuum tables, conical repositioning inserts and up to 18 individually controllable vacuum connections.
• 3D probe XYZ: reduces setup time, increases accuracy and enables surface probing for automatic Z compensation (optional).
• Additional axes: DATRON Axis4 available as an option for 4-axis operations (other axis solutions optional).
• DATRON tooling: range of tools optimized for high-speed machining.

Frame and table
Steel table with integrated conical repositioning inserts; optimized steel chassis with UHPC concrete mass to ensure stability and reduce vibration.
