1 Safety
This chapter provides an overview of all important safety aspects for protecting
persons as well as for a safe and fault-free operation of the system/product. There are
further warning messages in the sections of the individual lifecycle stages.
1.1 Intended use
The ProtoMat E34 has been specially designed for producing single-sided circuit
board prototypes while the ProtoMat E44 has been designed for producing circuit
board prototypes of up to four layers. Both systems can also be used to create signs
and housing components.
The system is approved for the following processing procedures and materials:
Processing procedures
Milling and drilling of single-sided and double-sided base material
Milling and drilling of multi-layer material (E44 only)
Milling of SMD solder paste stencils
Engraving of signs or housing panels
Drilling of plane materials
Materials
GFRP and CFRP base material
PTFE or ceramic-filled base material
Plastics such as:
Polyoxymethylene
ABS copolymers
Necuron ®
Any other kind of usage is considered as not intended. The manufacturer is not liable
for any damage resulting from this, the operator alone bears the risk. Part of the
intended use is also to follow the instructions for safety, operation, and maintenance of
the system that are described in this user manual.
In case of doubt contact the LPKF Service to receive more information on alternative
materials or processing procedures.
Only control the system with the system software that is included in the scope of
delivery.
The system may only be operated with an extraction system that is sufficiently
dimensioned and has an integrated HEPA filter.
Only use qualified and approved extraction systems.
Contact the LPKF sales department or your local sales representative if you plan to
use another extraction system.
Improper use
The system must not be used for processing highly combustible materials like e.g.
paper or wood, sealed containers, hollow parts, textiles, or food.
Do not use the system with a different or modified software.
