Page 9: Product Description
The extensive equipment and the high grade of automation as e.g. automatical exchange of tools, head illumination and a camera for detection of fiducials make the ProtoMat S extremely comfortable in its operation. The modern and ergonomically shaped soundproof housing facilitates easy handling. The safe and comfortable employment of the circuit board plotter is thus possible in any working environment without any additional effort.

Page 21: Safety Notes
Any accidental starting of the motor and moving of the mill/drill head during repairs and servicing may cause considerable injuries. ATTENTION Make sure that only one person operates the machine. Secure the machine during servicing and repair activities appropriate. © 2011 LPKF AG HB V2.0/Dez-11...
Page 22 Risk of injury by instable underground! An instable surface level can collapse and hurt the operator during machining of a work piece due to vibrations and the machine powers. ATTENTION The machine must be placed on a solid surface. © 2011 LPKF AG HB V2.0/Dez-11...
Page 23: General Safety Notes
Read the operation manual before start up the machine and any usage of the machine. Contact the LPKF service if any problems occur! The machine must exclusively be operated, repaired and serviced by qualified and authorised staff.
Page 25: Functional Description
The circuit board plotter ProtoMat S is employed for processing of electrical printed circuit boards. Printed circuit boards can consist of several layers (multilayer) and may have up to six layers. In addition the ProtoMat S can be employed for processing of signs or housing components (front plate).
Page 26: Permitted Machining Materials
3.1.1 Permitted machining materials For reliable and safe operation of the circuit board plotter ProtoMat S we recommend to use original LPKF consumables. These articles are available with good value as multilayer sets or they are sold as single material for the different applications.
