PCB milling machine offers more

A new PCB milling machine is claimed to have a lot more to offer than previous models at a very reasonable price.

Belgian manufacturer Colinbus has introduced a new PCB milling machine claimed to have a lot more to offer than previous models at a very reasonable price.

Because of the active z-axis and the face-milled T-nut table this machine can not only mill and drill double-sided PCB boards but it can machine other materials as well.

This way a variety of jobs can be done with the CPR-30/PCB: 3D-shaping for the high-frequency market, drilling holes in cabinets, making front panels and stencils.

The special technology required for PCB machines has been combined here with the rigid but flexible construction of a compact-sised CNC milling machine.

The software that comes with the machine does the rest.

The CPR-30/PCB has a working area of 360 (y) x 280 (x) x 40mm (z) and comes standard with a high-frequency spindle motor of 30,000rev/min, a face-milled T-nut table, an alignment system for the production of double-sided PCBs, an engraving head with depth limiter, a clamping system for larger work pieces, a cyclone-shaped dust extraction system and powerful but easy-to-use software.

This machine is delivered not only with software needed for milling and drilling of PCBs but also with professional CAM software and a user-friendly and clear structured user-interface.

According to the manufacturer this user-interface is a very important sales argument for these kinds of milling machines.

This way controlling such a machine becomes extremely simple.

A range of accessories are available as an option: a sound cabinet, a cooling system and a range of clamp/fixation systems to mount the working pieces.

The very affordable price makes this machine a nice working instrument for schools and universities and electronics labs.

The Colinbus CPR-30/PCB costs Eur 5950 plus VAT.

The machine can also be equipped with a 60,000rev/min HF-spindle motor.
