Description

The plotter ProtoMat S100, manufactured by LPKF, is a machine capable of manufacturing both one and two-sided printed circuit boards (PCBs). It allows the use of boards with a number of substrates types and can be used to manufacture conventional PCBs and RF PCBs as well, featuring a resolution of 0.25µm and a precision of +/-2.5µm. ProtoPlace S is a semi-automatic system for pick & place ideally suited for mounting SMT components on PCB boards. ProtoFlow S has a convection oven manufactured also by LPKF, adequate for reflow soldering (with lead-free tin), because it provides the required heat distribution, a user-friendly programming and a number of predefined temperature profiles.
