How much does the DATRON neo Pro cost?

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the DATRON neo Pro that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.

Overview

On the published figures, the DATRON neo Pro is a 3-axis portal machine with a 500 mm x 400 mm x 175 mm (19.7 in x 15.7 in x 6.9 in) work envelope, a direct-shank HF spindle of 2.0 kW (2.7 hp) and a top speed of 40,000 rpm. Axis travel is a little larger than the envelope, at 520 mm (20.5 in) in X, 420 mm (16.5 in) in Y and 220 mm (8.7 in) in Z. The 175 mm is the portal passage that a part and its fixture must fit under.

A buyer comparing it with the plain neo should know that the rows listed for the two are the same: spindle power and speed, direct-shank tooling, 24 tool stations with a tool length probe, the DATRON next control and a weight of approximately 740 kg (1,631 lb). Whatever the Pro designation adds is not expressed in these figures, so ask DATRON for the difference in writing before choosing between them.

The clearer step is up from the entry model. The neo Entry has a 1.0 kW (1.3 hp) spindle at 27,000 rpm and a 12-station fixture, and runs DATRON next Entry, for which no additional software options are available. The neo Pro doubles the spindle power and the station count and lists DATRON next without that restriction.

Equipment in the table includes a DATRON 3D probe for workpiece measurement and a 24-inch multi-touch screen with a hand-held control unit. The DATRON Axis4 is optional and gives 3+1 operation. Lubrication is minimum quantity, from a 5 or 10 liter tank through a 2-nozzle spray ring, and the axes move at up to 28 m/min (1,102 ipm). Installed with the terminal, the machine needs 1,320 mm x 1,450 mm x 1,900 mm (52.0 in x 57.1 in x 74.8 in).

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

40,000 rpm direct-shank HF spindle rated 2.0 kW (2.7 hp)
24-station tool-holding fixture with a tool length probe, where the neo Entry lists 12 stations
Axes move at up to 28 m/min (1,102 ipm), compared with up to 12 m/min (472 ipm) on the neo Entry
The table lists a DATRON 3D probe for workpiece measurement and the DATRON next control
Weighs approximately 740 kg (1,631 lb) and stands on 805 mm x 1,450 mm (31.7 in x 57.1 in) without the terminal

Limitations

The listed figures are identical to those of the neo, so the table does not show what the Pro version adds
A 175 mm (6.9 in) portal passage and a 500 mm x 400 mm (19.7 in x 15.7 in) working area restrict it to small parts
Tools are held by direct shank only; the M8Cube, by contrast, also offers HSK-E 25
2.0 kW (2.7 hp) of spindle power limits cutter size and depth of cut
The fourth axis, DATRON Axis4, is an option

Best For

Small parts that fit under the 175 mm (6.9 in) portal passage High-speed machining with small direct-shank tools at up to 40,000 rpm Jobs that need up to 24 tools loaded at once Workpieces measured on the machine with the DATRON 3D probe 3+1 machining with the optional DATRON Axis4

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Is the neo Pro different from the DATRON neo?

Not in the published figures. Travels, work envelope, the 2.0 kW (2.7 hp) spindle, the 40,000 rpm top speed, the 24 tool stations, the control and the approximately 740 kg (1,631 lb) weight are the same for the neo Pro and the neo. The table does not state what distinguishes the Pro, so that question has to go to DATRON.

02 What is the work envelope of the neo Pro?

DATRON gives 500 mm x 400 mm x 175 mm (19.7 in x 15.7 in x 6.9 in), with Z defined as the portal passage. The axes themselves travel 520 mm (20.5 in), 420 mm (16.5 in) and 220 mm (8.7 in) in X, Y and Z, which leaves a margin around the envelope for tool approach.

03 How does the neo Pro compare with the neo Entry?

The neo Pro has 2.0 kW (2.7 hp) at up to 40,000 rpm; the neo Entry has 1.0 kW (1.3 hp) at up to 27,000 rpm. Tool stations are 24 against the 12 of the neo Entry, and axis speed is up to 28 m/min (1,102 ipm) against its up to 12 m/min (472 ipm). The neo Entry is limited to 3 axes and to the DATRON next Entry control, while the neo Pro lists DATRON next and the optional DATRON Axis4.

04 What kind of tool holding does the neo Pro use?

Direct shank. The spindle row lists no HSK interface, so cutters are clamped by their shanks and stored in a tool-holding fixture with 24 stations. A tool length probe is part of that fixture, which lets the machine measure each tool after it is loaded.

05 What should be planned for installing a neo Pro?

Floor space of 1,320 mm x 1,450 mm (52.0 in x 57.1 in) with the operating terminal, a height of 1,900 mm (74.8 in), and a floor that takes approximately 740 kg (1,631 lb). Coolant is minimum-quantity lubrication from a 5 or 10 liter tank. The table states no electrical or air requirements, so request them from DATRON.
