3.2.1 The pass hole system
The ProtoMat
®
S62 is delivered from the factory with a pass hole system
for base material in standard size 9" x 12". It comprises two pass hole
pins mounted in exchangeable plastic strips. The plastic strips can be
used more than once and moved individually in the X direction. Accord-
ingly, multiple pass hole positions can be set up for different base mate-
rial sizes.
The pass hole pins mounted on the traversing table are positioned
exactly on the mirror axis of the co-ordinate system. If the base material
is turned through this (longitudinal) axis to process the second side, the
production data is automatically executed precisely to fit on the base
material.
3.2.2 Material fastening
The material must lie flat on the drilling underlay to ensure the desired
material removal rate across all areas when milling. Fasten it at the
edges using adhesive tape which will not leave any traces of residue
when removed.

Tip: For flexible materials use the optional vacuum table to fasten the
material in a perfectly flat position.
