boards directly in the laboratory. This is fast and easy with
the new circuit board plotters from LPKF Laser & Elec-
tronics AG. Whether the all-rounder LPKF ProtoMat
S64 or the special system for HF applications, LPKF
ProtoMat S104; the fully-automated machines guar-
antee the production of fine structures to 100μm.
Automatic tool change, camera-controlled fidu-
cial recognition and integrated milling width control
keep operating time to a minimum.
For the etch-free process, neither special knowl-
edge nor special laboratory equipment is required.
Thanks to digital control via easy-to-use software, the layout
can be flexibly adapted at any time. The user has control of every
process step, the ideas remain in-house and no coordination with
external service providers is necessary.
The LPKF ProtoMat S64 is the reliable and fast working basic
system for almost all in-house PCB prototyping applications. The
high-speed milling spindle allows the production of structures up
Fully-automated PCB prototyping
as small as 100μm. The included dispenser and
vacuum table makes the LPKF ProtoMat S64 the
perfect addition to any development environment.
The LPKF ProtoMat S104 sensor-controlled
material and copper thickness measurements
are carried out automatically and enable the ex-
act determination of the required milling depth.
The milling width adjustment also automatically
ensures a constant width of the milling contours.
Thanks to the vacuum table and the high-
performance spindle, which operates at up to
100,000 RPM, the LPKF ProtoMat S104 is also suit-
able for HF applications and thin laminates as well
as substrates with sensi-
tive surfaces.
The system software
also takes into account
the special requirements
of RF materials.Contact:

In China, there are
thousands of contract
manfacturers providing PCBA/
OEM/ODM services (most of them
are in Guangdong province).
Because many factories focus on
consumer products, they need huge quantities to keep their SMT
lines running for 24 hours. The Chinese market has a large demand
for consumer products.
But the risks are also high: so many companies develop very
fast, then, disappear suddenly.
Regular SILICON CHIP readers would recognise the name “LEACH”,
a China-based company who advertise regularly in the magazine.
LEACH was founded in 1999. It is not huge factory but has a to-
tal of three SMT lines, two through-hole lines and one box assem-Contact:

Storage Solutions for
Electrical TechniciansWith a wide range of award-winning
drawer cabinets available to choose from,
it is hard to go past a BAC Drawer properly set-up with internal draw-
er partitions of plastic bins. Any student, technician, or store person
will find that there is no more effective way of storing small parts
than in a BAC Drawer Cabinet.
Whether you work at a university, as an auto electrician, on a fac-
tory floor, or out of a van, there is no doubt the electrical parts are
very small, and that there are lots of them!
Trying to keep these parts
in order, to keep them clean,
and to have easy access to
them is easily accomplished
with a set of BAC Drawer
Storage Cabinets.
