The DATRON neo was specifically designed and built as an industrial, heavy duty, cost-effective solution for high-speed engraving, supporting industries like yours for over 30 years.
Engrave a wide range of materials such as brass, tool steel, stainless steel, and aluminum with superb surface finishes in a fraction of the time compared to conventional CNC systems. The impressive speed makes this system an excellent economic alternative to acid etching, and it can run overnight 24/7. DATRON is a world leader in engraving solutions for embossing dies, including combination dies, foil stamping dies, steel stamps, rotary die work, shallow cavity molds, serialization, stainless steel panels, and signage.
The plug-and-play system, featuring the DATRON next Control software combined with optional Carveco® engraving software, empowers users in the engraving industry to create three-dimensional artwork in metal with precision accuracy with mirror-like surface finishes. Integrated features like optical cameras and touch probes allow for easy part setup and registration. Integrated work holding, such as our vacuum table systems, makes it easy to secure your plate material in seconds without any gasketing, tape, or mechanical fasteners. There is a plug-and-play 4th rotary axis option for doing cylindrical die work. The touchscreen control lets you tap and swipe to high-precision engraving results in minutes. And remarkably, the DATRON neo even fits through a standard doorway and runs on single-phase power.
Whether outsourcing, manually engraving, using conventional CNC machines, desktop engraving, laser systems, or acid etching, the neo system is a good alternative solution and an easy integration to your operation. DATRON offers turn-key solutions that allow you to be in production on the first day of your installation. Our team of experienced engineers will hold your hand through the entire process, from applying tool paths to your artwork and setting up your tools and workpiece to running and maintaining your engraving machine. Our local inventory of tools, spare parts, and field service technicians nationwide ensures your machine always operates smoothly with minimal downtime. We make it easy.
DATRON has great support here in the States and whenever I have a problem, they help me and respond right away. Having a contact person and service over here is key because if I need a part, I can get it the next day.
