Functional test with LPKF BoardMaster
22 ProtoMat C30/C30-S
7.1 HOME position and registration hole system
The HOME position must be on the machine's axis of symmetry
(registration hole system) for double-sided base.
Double-sided base material are rotated about this axis of symmetry.
Inaccuracies in the HOME position result in misalignment when double-
sided base are rotated during the machining process.
The HOME position is contained on the configuration diskette supplied
as standard. With the
BoardMaster
program and configuration diskette
correctly installed, the HOME position corresponds to the setting for the
x/y coordinates as measured during the acceptance test.
Note: The registration hole system can only be guaranteed to be
parallel for the current position of the registration hole strips.
The front registration hole slide must be pushed against the pin in
the reference groove (reference point).
An additional hole must be drilled for each format in the rear
registration hole strip if base material of different sizes is used.
To do this, move from the HOME position towards the rear
registration hole strip.
Now move the rear registration hole strip to the required position.
An additional hole is drilled in the slide using a 2.95 mm drill.
The position of the slide for the various holes should recorded or
marked on the circuit-board plotter.
This guarantees parallelism for different formats.
You will need to perform a test run on the machine to check the
coordinates of the Home position on new machines and after
transporting the system.
The individual steps are described in the next section,
"Checking and
correcting the HOME position".
No further action is required if the preset coordinates are correct. If this
is not the case, the corrected coordinates will have to be entered in
BoardMaster
. See the section entitled
"Programming the HOME
position in
BoardMaster
".
7.2 Checking and correcting the HOME position
The test file Null-Pkt.LMD is supplied with installation program to simplify
the procedure for checking the HOME position.
This program drills a hole on one side of the board and then rotates the
board before milling a circle in the same place. This allows you to
perform a visual check on the position of the Home point in both axes.
Caution! Bevore beginning you must read the chapters " Operating
the working depth limiter" and "Changing a tool (C30)" as well as
"Changing a tool (C30/S).
