Garbsen, January 2006 – LPKF Laser & Electronics AG presents the LPKF ProtoMat® S42 circuit board plotter, a new entry-level circuit board plotter for in-house rapid PCB prototyping. This compact system provides precision and performance for quickly and easily milling and drilling single-sided and double-sided circuit board prototypes in a single day.
 
The LPKF ProtoMat® S42 is an excellent tool for colleges and technical institutions, allowing students and instructors to produce printed circuit boards that are production quality and chemical free, immediately in the classroom environment. Low consumable costs, instant turnaround, and no need for external vendors encourages more practical exercises and experiments in the classroom or laboratory.

The ProtoMat® S42's 42,000 RPM spindle motor makes it an excellent entry-level performer for producing quality PCBs in-house. Easy handling can be increased with the addition of an optional fiducial recognition camera, as well as a vacuum table.
