3.5 The 2.5 D function
With its software-controlled 2.5 D function, the ProtoMat
®
S62 is perfect
for milling contours and cut-outs in thickwalled housing materials that
make high material removals necessary. The material is removed in sev-
eral cycles to protect the tool.
You can also mill stepped crevices, for example component pockets for
SMD loading, with the 2.5 D function.
Required accessories You will need the vacuum table (which can be purchased as an acces-
sory) to guarantee an exactly flat position when performing 2.5 D surface
milling. Contour/cut-out milling can also be performed with the basic
equipment in 2.5 D mode.
For optimum dust extraction, the milling depth limiter base must be
replaced with the LPKF brush head (which is available as an accessory)
when processing in 2.5 D mode (see chapter ‚ "Dismounting the plastic
base/brush head", on page 62).
Usable tools It is only possible to use the End Mill long 1/8" and the Contour Router in
2.5 D processing. The End Mill (RF) 1/8" is not suitable for the
2.5 D function.
