Circuit board plotter for the RF and microwave range
Top-class model with fully automatic operation
From design to finished PCB prototype in just a few hours – LPKF systems make it possible. The versatile PCB circuit board plotters fit as table systems into any development environment and cover the entire spectrum from analog to RF applications.
The devices mill the PCB structure from a fully coated base material. High-speed spindles with speeds from 60000 to 100000 rpm, a resolution down to 0.25 µm (0.01 mil) and very high repeat accuracy ensure the production of the finest structures. For RF and microwave applications, the ProtoMat S103 fully utilizes its high spindle speed and impresses with particularly clean structuring results.
Such printed circuit boards are difficult to fix on the work surface – a vacuum table solves this problem. The relatively soft material can be easily processed with RF tools.
Several smaller layouts can be accommodated on one base material. The ProtoMats are ideally suited for milling them out of the base material as printed circuit boards. In the case of pre-separated panels, ProtoMats can be used to separate the breakout tabs.
All circuit board plotters can structure, drill mounting holes and engrave front panels. The ProtoMats S64 and S104 have a 2.5D capability, which also allows pockets or deeper cut-outs to be made in housing parts.
For prototyping, milled polyimide stencils are a good alternative to steel stencils. They can be produced in-house in a few minutes. The milling data can be generated directly from LPKF CircuitPro.
