The Datron M8Cube is a high-performance CNC milling machine. Its minimalist form and contrasting colour scheme deliberately direct attention to the operational process, that is, to the milling area. Machine activity is clearly visible through three large viewing windows. A slim user terminal with an integrated touchpad enables the user to easily execute the milling programmes. The integration of clearly positioned signal lights in the user terminal and on the machine cabinet provides clear information about the machine’s operational status. A space-saving flap concept and the large chip drawer integrated into the machine’s housing ensure ergonomic and fatigue-free working conditions.
