DATRON neo

The DATRON neo is the ideal solution for microfluidics, offering a compact, plug-and-play system designed for precision machining of intricate microfluidic chips. It serves as a superior alternative to conventional CNC machines, acid etching, photolithography, or molding. With DATRON’s next control software, the neo delivers high-precision 3-axis machining without requiring extensive experience, allowing a lab technician to be trained in just hours. Its clean, oilless design makes it perfect for research labs, clean rooms, and other controlled environments. The intuitive touchscreen control ensures fast, high-tolerance machining with a simple tap or swipe, while its small footprint allows it to fit through standard doorways and freight elevators, optimizing valuable workspace.

Unlike traditional CNC machines that are large, expensive, and require specialized expertise, or desktop CNC machines that lack the necessary precision, the DATRON neo bridges the gap. It is compact like a desktop machine but delivers the accuracy of a full-scale CNC machining center. Featuring a 40,000 RPM high-speed spindle, it allows for efficient machining of intricate details with miniature tools. Its German-engineered system ensures micron-level precision, making it ideal for demanding applications like sputtering centrifugal discs. The temperature-controlled spindle minimizes thermal growth, while the integrated touch probe maps and compensates for surface variances, ensuring precise microchannel depth tolerances. Additionally, the vacuum table system secures flat material stock in seconds, eliminating the need for tape or fasteners and significantly improving efficiency.

By streamlining production, reducing overhead, and ensuring consistent quality, the DATRON neo empowers microfluidics manufacturers to innovate faster and meet industry demands with greater efficiency.
