3.4.6 Processing table
The processing table of the system is a vacuum table that is equipped with a
motorized y axis. The processing table can be moved using the system software. The
processing area of the system is 330 mm (~13 in) in x direction and 249 mm (~9.8 in)
in y direction.
At the start of the system, the vacuum table references its position automatically by
moving to the rear end and subsequently to the front end of its movement range.
The vacuum table has two connection hoses for connecting to the extraction system.
Sinter plate
The sinter plate is inserted into the vacuum table and serves as underlay when
processing with penetrating tools. The base material is placed on the sinter plate for
processing and fastened by the produced vacuum. The sinter plate can be replaced if
necessary.
Tool adjustment station
The processing table has an integrated station for contactless adjustment of the
milling and drilling tools. Adjustment of the tools is controlled by the system software
and runs automatically after picking up a tool.
