3 Functional description
In the following chapter the function of the circuit board plotter is described in
detail.
3.1 Function
The circuit board plotter ProtoMat S is employed for processing of electrical
printed circuit boards. Printed circuit boards can consist of several layers
(multilayer) and may have up to six layers. In addition the ProtoMat S can be
employed for processing of signs or housing components (front plate).
The circuit board plotter can be used for the following machining processes:
● Milling and drilling of single or double sided base material
● Milling and drilling of multilayer materials
● Milling of SMD soldering paste stencils
● Milling of solder resist masks
● Engraving of signs or housing plates
● Milling of cut-outs and outlines
● Perforating of planar materials
3.1.1 Permitted machining materials
For reliable and safe operation of the circuit board plotter ProtoMat S we
recommend original LPKF consumables. These articles are available with good
value as multilayer sets or they are sold as single material for the different
applications.
