The ProtoMat S104 from LPKF Laser & Electronics is a PCB Prototyping Equipment that has fully automatic operation including automatic tool change. It has a 100,000 RPM milling spindle that ensures the shortest machining times and highest geometric accuracy. This equipment includes pneumatic self-cleaning function for the motor and milling depth sensor for low-maintenance. It has a stable granite base which ensures optimum accuracy for drilling and milling of even very fine structures as small as 0.25&mum (0.01 mil).It can also process front panels, housings, populated PCBs in 2.5D and deep etching. This machine has an automatic tool changer that can hold up to 20 tools and a sensor system that measures material and copper thickness automatically.

The ProtoMatS104 has a Z-axis drive and is ideal for machining front panels and enclosures, depth milling in printed circuit boards. It also has an option for integrated dispenser that can fully automatically apply solder paste to solder pads. This equipment includes a highly-flexible and easy-to-use system software. It is suitable for use in in-house PCB prototyping applications.
