CCD/2 Manual Change CNC
The first part of the process in making a through hole plated circuit board is drill the required hole pattern in a piece of copper laminate. Due to the number of holes required and that there is not a guide to the position of the holes manual drilling is not suitable so a CNC drill has to be used.
The MEGA CCD/2 has a maximum working area of approximately 270 x 320 mm. This high speed, accurate machines will drill PCBs, manufacture isolation routed prototype boards( with ISOCAM), and engrave a whole range of substrates.
For PCBs the machine will accept the drilling files created by most CAD software packages and will drill several boards in a stack. With this machine it is also possible to produce prototype PCBs without the use of etching chemicals, the method of production known as isolation routing. A special piece of software is available, called IsoCAM, which uses the data from Gerber files to generate the corresponding outline shape.
Used in conjunction with a Windows Black Box drilling and routing can be performed real time in windows. The high speed and precision of these machines, together with a range of specifically design sophisticated features (e.g. mechanical depth limitation) make this method of production highly accurate and efficient.
All that is required to operate the machine is a standard PC. The machine is equipped with a high frequency spindle and comes complete with a control unit, vacuum suction device for clearing swarf and the driver software drilling and milling.
