electronics boards piercing machine

[shreifali]

Hi all,
does anybody have an idea how we can make a cnc machine to pierce electronics boards (e.g orcad PCB) ?
thx

pierce? as in drill? Pretty simple really. A small XYZ table top router. Import the Excellon (called Thruhole.tap in ORCad terms) directly into Sheetcam. You can step and repeat the pattern in SheetCAM.

If you want to route the traces there is a way to do that too.

Thx torchhead,
but from where can I download the Sheetcam ?

I guess that means you want a pirated copy. If so, a pox on your house!

I will vote for a pox on you too. pirating this software that is so resonably price makes you lower than low.

.....that went well.

What I didn't tell him is to route traces, the trace outlines have to be in DXF and the DXF format OrCAD puts out won't work (:-0
