At my work there are three very capable CNCs, we don't need another one. For other situations I would be looking for low cost (hobby) CNCs.
I'm trying to learn how to use CNCs and looking for ways of getting the most out of what I have already.
Thanks anyway, Pete
P.S. I'm intrigued as to what the camera on the CNC is for. |
Hi Pete,
The camera is used for:
- Feducial Registration (for bottom layer aligment - 0.2 mil)
- Tool Test (very usefull to check the condition and the setup of the tool prior to start operating)
- Measurement (resolution 0.2mil)
- Quality control (visual check - very easy way to check the final result by clicking on different areas and monitoring them with zoom)
check the manual (there are a lot of pictures
):

For PCBs, the special Z axis design is very important (depth limiter, presure foot).
The software is very important too! PhCNC is really good (check the demo version)!
brgds,
Ivan
