PCB Plotters Speed Prototyping

Touting new standards for prototyping speed, accuracy, and ease-of-use, the ProtoMat S62 circuit-board plotter delivers a maximum milling speed of 150 mm per second, system resolution of 0.25 µm, and includes a 62,000-rpm spindle motor. The plotter is capable of producing very-fine traces for all types of PCBs, including RF and microwave boards. Additional features include integrated head lighting and a 10-position automatic milling-tool changer for unattended operation. A motorized Z-axis drive independently moves the plotter milling head over multiple axes, providing three-dimensional plotting for machining front panels and housings. The plotter does not require external compressed air or chemicals and it comes in a soundproof cabinet. Optional accessories include a fiducial recognition camera system and a vacuum tabletop.
