3.2 The traversing table

The traversing table can be moved in the Y direction to position the mill-

ing/drilling head in any position above the work area. BoardMaster co-

ordinates the traversing motions.

Note: The circuit board plotter can be equipped with the optionally available vac-

uum table.
