We generally recommend to use a depth limiter for
isolation milling to compensate the tolerances of
table, backing board and PCB.
Caution: If the depth limiter is operated together
with an automatic tool changer, then the opening
of the green slider must point towards the tool
slots, otherwise tool or tool slot will be damaged!
If you use the depth limiter, the spindle of the Z-
axis needs to be decoupled. To do so remove a
little screw from the Z-axis clutch using the sup-
plied Allan key and deposit the screw temporarily
in the threaded hole as shown in the picture.
The depth limter is mounted from below to the
spindle and locked with the black screw. To
change the tools, we recommend to quickly take
off the depth limiter. The green slider is a consum-
able item and can be exchanged if necessary.
The head is set with a fine thread with 500μm pitch
and secured with a lock nut. On the lower part 10
adjustment points are located at regular intervals,
so if you turn the fine thread from one adjustment
point to the next, you change the milling depth 50
microns.
To set the depth, first adjust the milling depth
roughly by eye-sight. Then select an uncritical
milling line, at best outside of the actual design or
a board cur line and make a test. If the track is too
deep, turn the depth limiter a little lower. If the
track is not deep enough, turn the depth limiter a
little higher. Repeat this procedure till you are con-
tent with the result. Then process the complete
tool. These procedure may seem a little complic-
ated, but in reality it takes about one minute and
will give perfect results!
Your machine is now set up, controlled and you have already processed two projects with your
machine. This introduction ends at this point. Further details and answer to special questions you
can find in the detailed instructions below and the RoutePro3000 help files.
