Applications
Applications
Use of circuit board plotters for Rapid PCB Prototyping
Prototype circuit boards with up to 8 layers
LPKF ProtoMats have a broad range of applications: an enormous spectrum of rigid and
flexible materials, as well as soft substrates for RF and microwave technology, can easily be
machined to produce prototype boards of production quality.
100 µm (4 mil) track and gap
150 µm (6 mil) hole diameters
The electrical characteristics of the prototype can be accurately produced from the design
data. This is guaranteed by the precise reproduction of the geometrical properties by the
LPKF circuit board plotters. The capability to create 100 µm (4 mil) tracks and gaps as well
as 150 µm (6 mil) holes enables the production of state-of-the-art circuits including BGA
and fine-pitch SMD components.
Through-hole plating
An essential part of most prototype boards are through-hole connections. LPKF offers
alternative methods including: Rivets (LPKF EasyContac), conductive paste (LPKF
AutoContac) and galvanic through-hole plating (LPKF MiniContac III and Contac III).
Through-hole plating with rivets
The LPKF EasyContac system is a simple, low cost method for through-hole plating
on less complex circuit boards. The process uses rivets, manually inserted with a
special tool and then soldered. This through-hole plating method is suitable for
low-density circuit boards with up to 50 via holes.
Through-hole plating with conductive paste
A dispenser mounted on the head of the LPKF circuit board plotter automatically
injects a special conductive paste into the holes of the board and then vacuums
out the excess paste leaving an open hole.
The paste is cured in a convection oven and creates a plated through-hole that
is solderable and can be populated with wired components. LPKF AutoContac is
suitable for low-density circuit boards with up to 300 via holes with diameters of
0.5 mm - 1.4 mm (20 mil - 55 mil).
Electroplating
LPKF offers two different sized electroplating systems – LPKF Contac III and
MiniContac III. These galvanic through-hole plating systems were specially developed to provide in-house plating solutions without compromising layout density or
limiting design rules. The process takes 60 - 120 min and produces production quality through-hole plating. Holes as small as 0.2 mm (8 mil) are easily plated and
there is no limit to the number of holes.

Applications
Reverse pulse plating
The introduction of reverse pulse plating (RPP) in 2003 has considerably improved
the quality of through-hole plating. This method guarantees uniform plating
thickness in the entire hole and allows plating of more difficult aspect ratios.
The “bone effect” (thicker plating at the top and bottom of the hole) is now a thing
of the past. This technology is based on accurately timed reverse pulsing (anodic
polarisation of the circuit board) which precisely ablates excess material to give
smoother plating.
Production of multilayer circuit boards
Multilayer circuit boards can easily be produced in house using LPKF solutions. Today the
production of 8-layer multilayers in ultra-fine technology is becoming a standard requirement as much as simple double sided boards. In the production of multilayer circuit boards
in particular, electroplating systems (Contac III or MiniContac III) combined with the LPKF
MultiPress II, are the backbone of the cost and time saving production of such complex
prototype circuit boards.
Routing slots, cut outs and board profile
The routing of slots, cut-outs and board contours or larger openings or routing of circuit
board contour to depanelize it from sheet material is no problem even with complex shapes.
Solder mask
Solder masks are used in PCB mass production to increase soldering precision and protect
the boards from environmental influences. With LPKF EasySolder, LPKF has developed an
easy, inexpensive method of producing instant solder masks for prototype boards using the
LPKF circuit board plotter. The mask is simply cut into an adhesive polymer material and
then bonded to the finished board.
RF and microwave circuits
Designers of RF and microwave circuits often require a substantial number of different
prototype boards during a development project, all made with superior accuracy. Only some
PCB manufacturers are set up to produce boards on special RF substrates and some of the
chemical methods used are unable to provide the precise geometries required.
The LPKF ProtoMat® C100/HF was developed specifically for the RF and microwave
market. It mostly uses custom designed precision tools to guarantee straight sidewalls and
minimum penetration into the substrate.
Prototypes can be quickly produced for testing as soon as the design is complete, then
small batches can also be economically made with this machine. The LPKF ProtoMat®
C100/HF easily handles all common RF substrates including PTFE and ceramic filled
substrates (RO® 4000).

Applications
Special Applications
Flexible circuit boards
With LPKF’s patented non-contact air bearing it is possible to process a wide range of
flexible circuit materials. The crucial factor in this application is the ratio of flexible
material thickness to the copper layer thickness but many flexible circuits have been prototyped on an LPKF circuit board plotter equipped with this device.
Rigid-flex circuit boards
LPKF circuit board plotters have a proven track record in the production of rigid-flex circuit
boards. In small batch production as well as prototyping, the LPKF circuit board plotters
with non-contact air bearing (LPKF ProtoMat® C100/HF, H100, 95s/II and X60) highlight
the benefits of defined depth milling. Prototyping of rigid-flex circuit boards is completed
quickly and easily with these machines.
Front panels and sign production
LPKF circuit board plotters can also be used for engraving and routing front panels and
signs. These high-precision systems open up numerous options for the very fine machining
of various materials, e.g.:
· Plastic
· Plexiglass
· Aluminum
· Brass, and many more.
Housings
The multi-functional character of LPKF circuit board plotters in electronics development is
also highlighted by their ability to machine other parts such as housings. This involves the
use of different tools to suit the materials used.
Dispensing
With the LPKF AutoContac system fitted onto an LPKF circuit board plotter it is possible to
dispense media of various kinds including solder paste, adhesive, conductive paste and
sealing compounds.

Applications
Use of circuit board plotters in PCB production
Reworking assembled/unassembled circuit boards
LPKF circuit board plotters can be used in numerous positions of PCB production lines and
easily integrated. LPKF ProtoMat® systems are ideal and cost-effective additions to
congested production lines particularly for the de-panelling of circuits (LPKF ProtoMat®
X60), or the subsequent creation of holes and openings after board manufacture. Other uses
include configuring or coding, e.g. by removing a plated hole or by severing one or more
tracks. LPKF systems can also be used to rework circuit boards, which have been produced
by etching.
Milling and engraving of special films and instant solder masks
LPKF circuit board plotters can be used to produce precision artwork for the mass production of circuit boards. This saves the expense of buying and running a photoplotter or the
cost of using an outside service.
The ability to cut very precisely defined openings in special films opens up other areas
of application for LPKF circuit board plotters including the production of:
· Instant solder mask
· Prototype SMD stencils for the application of solder paste on prototype printed circuit
boards using the printing machine LPKF ZelPrint LT300
Drilling circuit boards or test adapters
LPKF circuit board plotters can be used as CNC drilling machines. The software supplied
with each circuit board plotter system can read in drilling co-ordinates from circuit boards
if no data is available by using a camera (LPKF CircuitView) in conjunction with the teach-in
method. Test adapters for the pinhole bed of automatic circuit board testers can be drilled
or milled in materials such as plexiglass, Pertinax and antistatic fiberglass reinforced epoxy
often used for vacuum test adapters.
Solder frames and inspection templates
A crucial aspect in the production of solder frames and inspection templates is precise
machining of the carrier materials to ensure a perfect fit with the mass production circuit
boards. This is another ideal area of application for LPKF circuit board plotters.

Software package (LPKF CircuitCAM & BoardMaster)
Plug & Play for a fast start
Each LPKF circuit board plotter is delivered complete with a comprehensive software package for the import of
data from any PCB layout CAD package and control of the machine itself. The development of the software
focused on three key aspects: simple operation, perfect match to the hardware, and compatibility with all
standard CAD programs. This ensures an easy to learn, easy to use and compatible package.
LPKF CircuitCAM
The software interface to your CAD/EDA system
LPKF CircuitCAM is one of the few user friendly programs offering
powerful editing options for data modification. Its core is the intelligent insulation process used to produce the milling paths for the
LPKF circuit board plotter.
Simple integration
LPKF CircuitCAM processes the same data, which would be sent to
the PCB manufacturer. The usual data flow does not need to be
changed. Automatic importing of the aperture tables and tool lists
is followed by reading in of the Gerber and NC drilling files, which
are then graphically displayed on screen. LPKF CircuitCAM provides
numerous editing options for data modification (versiondependent):
• Data input: Gerber®, GerberX, HP-GL™, Excellon®, Sieb & Meier,
DXF, Barco®, ODB++®
• Data output: Gerber®, GerberX, HP-GL™, LMD,
Excellon® formats
• Intelligent insulation: This process guarantees removal of
copper using various automatic and individually adjustable
insulation options, which optimize milling time and tool life,
with up to four different tools per insulation strategy and
freely definable rub-outs – including polygons
• Design rule check: Automatic checking of track/gap spaces
• Auto contour routing: Automatic generation of routing path
with definable breakout tabs
• Auto ground plane: automatic generation of ground planes
• Direct drawing input: Drawing of simple front panels or PCB’s
• Editing: e.g. modifying line-widths, changing hole diameters,
shifting holes, add copper areas, etc.
• The WIZARD: Integrated program assistant to guide the user
and cut the learning curve.
• True type fonts: (TTF) in CircuitCAM text function
• Auto assign: Automatic assignment of production phases/tools
for BoardMaster
• Machining order control: Modification of cutting direction
and sequence
Simple and functional
LPKF CircuitCAM is very easy to operate via the Windows interface
thanks to its intelligent structure. Particularly fast and effective
operation through programmable tool bars and input instructions.
A program assistant (Wizard) guides the user through the program
sequence step by step: from importing data, through generation of
milling/routing paths, to the export of production data. Even unskilled users can rapidly learn this software and successfully
generate the data for the circuit board plotter.

High performance CAM station
With LPKF CircuitCAM PCB software, the user also has access to an independent CAM station. This opens up a wide range of options: production data
control, editing, modification, step and repeat, different design rule checks,
generation of ground planes or text in true type fonts as well as contour routing
paths. LPKF CircuitCAM PCB is also a very high-performance data converter,
e.g. for the conversion of AutoCAD® DXF data into Gerber files.
Upgrading LPKF CircuitCAM LITE to PCB is possible any time for a single flat
fee.
Special applications with LPKF CircuitCAM software
• Defined insulation at the push of a button
The diverse insulation parameters and options of LPKF CircuitCAM can be
individually adjusted and easily executed. The use of several tools
guarantees optimal, reliable removal of the copper around the conductor
lines.
• RF- and microwave layouts
Because of its special functions, it is particularly easy to use LPKF
CircuitCAM to process RF and microwave layouts from any original data.
The intelligent polygon-fill function for instance makes the processing of
DXF data really easy.
• Contour routing path generator
LPKF CircuitCAM also has the option to generate routing paths automatically. This includes the creation of cutting paths for internal slots or
openings as well as the outer contour of the circuit board. Defined breakout
tabs are created at the same time to hold the circuit board in the material.

The fastest prototyping system yet
This system allows significant reduction in the
production time of prototype PCBs. The maximum milling speed is now almost doubled
compared to prior top-of-the-range systems
and the integrated smart following-vector path
generation allows the system to maintain a
higher average speed. The combination of both
of these features pushes the performance factor
of this machine 2 - 3 times. Now prototype production of multilayer boards is accomplished
in-house comfortably. The resolution has been
increased five fold to 1 µm, which combined
with 100,000 rpm milling motor allows this
plotter to partially create 80 µm (3.1 mil)
tracks with 100 µm (4 mil) spacing which
accommodates all state of the art packages
including BGA and µBGA®.
Along with the increased performance, the
H100 also includes many new features derived
from high volume production systems, which
up to now have been unknown in this class of
prototyping equipment. These features include
automatic tool change, automatic tool adjustment by scanning sensor, and a camera system
for automatic fiducial recognition. This eliminates user interaction and simplifies the board
alignment process. The H100 system also
includes an integrated vacuum tabletop
allowing proper mounting of thin and flexible
substrates on the plotter.

LPKF ProtoLaser for Rapid PCB Prototyping
Product features
• 60 µm (2.4 mil) track with 40 µm (1.6 mil) gaps
• Capable of drilling and skiving Alumina and other ceramic
substrates
• Fine marking and engraving of components and front panels
• Extremely simple operation
• Powerful software with intuitive user interface
• Laser Safety Class 1
Ultra fine geometries with laser
To be able to prototype HDI circuitry the LPKF ProtoLaser combines
the best of both worlds. This circuit board plotter features a mechanical milling head with fully automatic tool change for milling,
drilling and routing as well as a laser beam to create circuit
geometries as small as 40 µm (1.6 mil) with 100 µm (4 mil) pitch.
The laser is also capable of drilling and skiving ceramic substrates.
This system is designed to meet the needs of engineers pushing the
envelope with top-level designs without compromising the
turnaround time for prototypes.
Laser cutting head
High-end versatility
HDI circuit structuring
The LPKF ProtoLaser uses a hybrid cutting head consisting of both
a mechanical tool and a laser beam that can be used alternatively.
The laser beam creates the critical fine structures, whereas the
mechanical milling bit removes larger copper areas, drills holes or
routes the board’s contour. A completely integrated software tool
management automatically handles all tool parameters as well as
the interaction between laser and mechanical machining. If particularly high specifications are demanded an optional cleaning process
can be applied subsequently.
Substrate cutting
Another application of the LPKF ProtoLaser is the cutting of various
substrates including aluminium oxide, silicon nitride, polycrystalline silica and others.

High-performance CAM software
The LPKF ProtoLaser uses the LPKF CircuitCAM/BoardMaster software package.
LPKF CircuitCAM imports the artwork (Gerber® Standard [RS-274-D], Gerber® Extended
[RS-274-X], DBF [Barco], Excellon® NC Drill [versions 1 and 2], Sieb & Meier NC Drill, DXF,
HP-GL™, ODB++), provides the extensive functionality of a CAM package, calculates the
cutting paths for the laser and the milling tools, and transfers the production data to the
ProtoLaser control software (LPKF BoardMaster). In addition to numerous control functions,
this also incorporates comprehensive tool management and a comfortable WYSIWYG user
interface which permanently informs about the current status of the production process.

LPKF EasyContac
LPKF EasyContac
Manual system for through-hole plating
LPKF EasyContac delivers a simple and easy-to-operate
system for the through-hole plating of circuit board
holes. The minor effort involved and low costs are
the major benefits of this manual solution.
LPKF EasyContac is particularly suitable where twosided soldering is not possible, e.g. beneath
components. The set contains all of the necessary
tools and materials with the exception of a soldering
iron.
LPKF EasyContac was developed for prototype circuit boards and
PCB repairs with up to 50 through-plated holes per circuit board.
All the necessary parts are conveniently packed in a handy box so
that it can also be used by service engineers.
The key components of the LPKF EasyContac are through-hole
plating rivets made of a special copper alloy. These rivets are available with external diameters of 0.8 mm (32 mil), 1.0 mm (40 mil),
1.2 mm (48 mil) and 1.4 mm (56 mil). The internal diameter is
0.2 mm (8 mil) or 0.4 mm (16 mil) smaller than the desired
external diameter. They are manually placed in the hole and riveted
with a stamping tool. A component lead can still be fed through the
hole if necessary. The rivet is then simply soldered.

LPKF AutoContac
Conductive paste through-hole plating
with the LPKF circuit board plotter
Product features
• Conductive epoxy paste through-hole plating
• Easily integrated on any existing LPKF circuit board plotters
• Suitable for boards with up to 300 holes
• Option for the dispensing of various pastes (solder paste, adhesive,
conductive paste and sealants)
The patented LPKF AutoContac system is ideal for fast environmentally friendly in-house through-hole plating without chemicals.
A special conductive paste produces plated holes suitable for component insertion and soldering in double-sided circuit boards directly
using the LPKF circuit board plotter.
This simple and easy-to-learn technique, along with the minor
investment required, makes independent Rapid PCB Prototyping
practical for even the smallest enterprise.
Procedure
LPKF AutoContac is suitable for circuit boards with max. 300 holes
and hole diameters of 0.5 - 1.4 mm (20 - 55 mil).
A special conductive paste is automatically injected into the hole
by a dispenser mounted to the head of the LPKF circuit board
plotter. The second step involves the vacuum extraction of the
excess paste. The subsequent hardening in a hot-air oven creates a
permanent through-plated hole suitable for component assembly.
The complete through-hole plating process is precisely and
automatically controlled by the LPKF BoardMaster circuit board
plotting software. The parameters for a specific drill hole diameter
are stored in the tool library of the software.
This tried-and-tested technique combined with the individual
definition of dispenser parameters is also used for the application
of solder paste, adhesives, and sealants.

LPKF Contac III, MiniContac III & MiniContac III/HF
LPKF Contac III, MiniContac III & MiniContac III/HF
In house professional quality through-hole plating
Product features
• No development work hold-ups
• No chemical expertise or analysis required
• Only four tanks
• No chemical pre-coppering
• Reverse pulse plating
8-layer circuit board
The LPKF through-hole plating systems were specially developed for
the professional production of prototype and small batch production
printed circuit boards to be used in combination with an LPKF
circuit board plotter. These systems enable production quality
boards to be produced independently without the need for outside
suppliers.
The through-plated holes comply with the highest specifications
and can be made quickly in house to avoid day long hold-ups in the
design process. This system is particularly suitable for complex
circuit boards with any number of holes.
The LPKF Contac III can be optionally equipped for tin plating.
Reverse Pulse Plating
To ensure that tomorrow’s demands are fully satisfied, the LPKF
MiniContac III and Contac III systems use reverse pulse plating
technology, providing uniform copper plating that allows plating of
more difficult aspect ratios and smaller holes. It avoids the “boneeffect” (thicker copper growth at hole entrance) that can clog up
small via holes entirely before they are completely plated.
This option is also very useful for small holes on high density
PCBs and improves production reliability during soldering.
Reverse pulse plating is achieved using control electronics that
monitors the whole through-hole plating process and removes
excess material by the precise setting of reverse pulses (anodic
polarisation of the workpiece).

LPKF through-hole plating technologies
Standard technology: Carbon-based through-hole plating
(black hole method)
Special technology: Palladium-based through-hole plating,
especially for PTFE based
microwave substrates
We will be happy to provide you with a list of applicable base
materials upon request!
!
Methods for both technologies
Optimal through-hole plating requires a very high standard hole
quality. The through-hole plating process starts with the pre-treatment of the circuit boards in three tanks for approx. 30 minutes all
together. This process involves degreasing, pre-treatment and
activation. The circuit boards are then copper-coated in a galvanic
bath. This takes 60 - 90 minutes depending upon the specified
thickness of the copper coating.
The equipment is very environmentally friendly because it is a
closed system: all of the chemicals remain in the tank during use.
The only external connection required is a cold water supply for the
rinsing tank. One set of chemicals lasts approximately one year.
No technical expertise is required to operate or look after the tanks.
LPKF Contac III in use
Chemical tinning option
For the Contac III, LPKF offers the additional option of a heated
tank to provide chemical tin plating for optimal soldering of
through-hole plated circuit boards and oxidation protection.

LPKF EasySolder
LPKF EasySolder
Instant solder mask for prototype circuit boards
Fast, precise, flexible: mechanically made prototype solder masks
can be produced extremely quickly using LPKF EasySolder. The
solder mask is made out of high-quality, temperature-resistant and
dimensionally stable polyimide film. A solder mask increases soldering reliability and protects the circuit board from environmental
influences. This process requires no screen printing and no
photographic technology or chemical-etching.
System accessories for
applying the solder
mask
Part number 104425
Process description
LPKF CircuitCAM software uses the soldermask CAD data to create
the cutting paths for the circuit board plotter to mechanically
produce the solder mask. Structuring is done by cutting the pads
out of the polyamide material using the LPKF circuit board plotter.
The solder-resist mask is then bonded to the circuit board using a
pressing tool. The subsequent lamination process takes place in a
hot-air oven at a temperature of 180 °C (356 °F) and takes about
60 minutes. The bonding pressure is individually adjusted to the
size of the circuit board to ensure optimal results. LPKF EasySolder
masks are suitable for all standard soldering processes such as wave
and reflow soldering, as well as manual soldering. It is temperature
resistant to 288 °C (550 °F), compliant with IPC standards.
LPKF EasySolder is supplied complete with accessories and consumables. A hot air oven for laminating the solder mask on the
circuit board is also available from LPKF as an optional accessory.

Quality and precision – LPKF tools
LPKF’s development to satisfy the extreme precision and
performance requirements of current state of the art circuit boards
has produced a large range of high performance precision cutting
tools. These tools are custom designed for LPKF and made of 100 %
top quality carbide resulting in significantly longer tool life, precise
cuts, and diminished drill flux. The proprietary designs are accomplished with extensive testing and design reconfiguration until the
highest quality results are met. LPKF’s leading commitment is an
ongoing research and development process to continually suit the
user demands and approaching technologies.
For ease of use and to minimize the set-up time, LPKF tools
come in two different lengths: 36 mm (1.42“) for tools working on
the surface (milling bits and endmills) and 38 mm (1.5“) for tools
that work through the material (drill and router bits).

Explanation
Every LPKF circuit board plotter has a registration set pin hole system to ensure
the precise positioning of double-sided base materials in particular. This location hole system consists of set pin holes (1) positioned exactly on the center
axis of the machine in permanent set pin hole strips (3).
A special adhesive tape (2) leaves no residue and is used to mount the base
material. It also ensures that warped objects are held down flat on the machines
tabletop. The PCB cleaning pad removes minor burrs and residues from the
mechanical milling process and gives the base material surface a great finish.

LPKF ZelPrint
LPKF ZelPrint
LPKF provides two professional stencil printers for prototypes
and small batches. Both LPKF ZelPrint models have extremely
high levels of precision and efficiency: Manual or semi-automatic: the sophisticated technology guarantees easy operation
and perfect printing results.
LPKF ZelPrint LT300
Manual tabletop stencil printer
Product description
LPKF ZelPrint LT300 is a precision manual stencil printer. This tabletop model
can be utilized for both prototypes and small batches of fine pitch SMT boards.
Precise vertical separation between stencil and circuit board is guaranteed to
meet the specifications of contact printing. This unique solution allows printing
of 0.3 mm (12 mil) pitch (ultra-fine-pitch area).
High positioning accuracy, simple operation and the ability to use milled
polymer stencils (limited to 0.65 mm [26 mil] pitch) reduces costs and increases efficiency in the production of circuit board prototypes.
This printer is shipped with a ZelFlex quick-release stretching frame for
stencils but is also compatible with various other frames. The precise threedimensional adjustment of the stencil with micrometer screws (X, Y, theta and
clearance) is vital for superior printing results. The ZelPrint LT300 has freely
adjustable, high clearance PCB nesting pins that allow printing of boards that
are already populated on the other side.
Product features
• Manual stencil printer
• Parallel stencil separation
• Quick-release stencil frame included (ZelFlex ZR)
• Precision stencil adjustment with micrometer screws
• Compatible with various stencil frames
• Test print screen included
• Printing of two side populated boards
LPKF ZelPrint with test screen, rubber squeegee and metal stencil,
clamped into a ZelFlex ZR quick-release frame (can also be
used for polymer stencils).
LPKF ZelPrint PTC 350
Semi-automatic tabletop stencil printer
Product description
This semi-automatic fine-pitch SMD stencil printer is designed for prototype
circuit board production as well as for the production of small to medium
quantity batches.
The powered squeegee is speed and pressure controlled and guarantees
highly reproducible printing results. The fast and simple circuit board clamping,
and the automatically switched vacuum table, allows up to 100 printing cycles
per hour. Straightforward settings and simple operation of four operating modes
including single and dual pass printing and print-flood/flood-print cycles.
The printing process can be started automatically just by closing the printer, or
be initiated manually at the push of a button. The stencil/PCB alignment is
precisely done in X/Y/Z and theta and a test print screen overlay allows quick
setup.
Stencil frames are held in place with pneumatic latches and can be
exchanged quickly through slide rails. Smaller frames are held in frame
adapters. The PTC 350’s rigid construction ensures the highest level of precision
and efficiency.
Product features
• Semi-automatic stencil printer
• Printing of rigid and flex boards
• Vacuum table
• Precision stencil adjust with micrometer screws
• 4 printing modes
• Compatible with various stencil frames, including
quick release
• Test print screen included

Product description LPKF ZelFlex ZR
LPKF ZelFlex mechanical quick-release frames are manufactured from rigid,
high-quality aluminum profiles and enable the direct mounting of stencils in the
frames.
Equal tension of the stencil is achieved with patented tensioning regulators,
that protect the stencil from damage through over-tensioning. Smaller stencils
can also be fitted in these frames without any problems. The tension of the
stencil can be adjusted or changed even if the frame is already installed in the
printer.

Product description LPKF ZelFlex Z4P
4-sided quick-release stencil frame is a flexible, cost and space saving alternative for professional stencil print operations.
The patented stencil perforation pattern guarantees simple, fast and repeatable stencil changeover. The stretching mechanism uses compressed air to
create a uniform tension over the whole working area. Once charged, the frame
maintains the tension and can be used for more than 24 hours without being
re-connected to an air supply. This feature allows simplified operation and easy
integration into the printer.

Manual Pick and Place systems for prototype circuit
boards and small batches
General product description
LPKF ZelPlace is a manual Pick & Place system for professional
SMD assembly of prototype PCBs and small production batches.
The basic unit of all LPKF ZelPlace machines is a multi-function
dispenser for applying various media, and a vacuum pick-up nozzle
to place the components.
All LPKF ZelPlace models are based on the same platform.
Upgrading to a more sophisticated system is possible at any time.
Each ZelPlace system comes with a multifunctional dispenser unit
that features both manual and automatic dispensing mode.
Product features
• Fine-pitch assembly
• Vacuum pick-up nozzle and precision manipulator
• Modular system design
• Dispenser
• Various feeders
• Upgradable at any time
LPKF ZelPlace 110
The LPKF ZelPlace 110 system is the ideal solution for the
assembly of SMD components (surface mounted devices) with a
pitch between 1 mm (39 mil) and 1.27 mm (50 mil), such as SOIC,
SOT, PLCC and passive components 1206 and 0805.
The components are picked with a vacuum pick-up nozzle and
placed on the PCB with the help of a guided hand support. Feeders
and turntables can be mounted to LPKF ZelPlace 110 on three
sides. The multi-function LPKF ZelDisp dispenser for solder paste
or adhesives is part of the Pick & Place system.
LPKF ZelPlace 110 with component turntable
LPKF ZelPlace 220
LPKF ZelPlace 220 has a guided manipulator head and integrated
illumination. This allows precise and vibration-free placement of a
component in the desired position. When placing the component
the vacuum is controlled by the LPKF ZelDisp multifunction dispenser unit and turned on and off automatically. In addition to
classic areas of application, this system is capable of dispensing
adhesives and solder paste. Turntables (for bulk components) and
feeders can be conveniently placed on all three sides.
LPKF ZelPlace 220 enables the assembly of digital SMDs with a
large number and high density of leads. Components such as SSOP
with 0.65 mm (26 mil) pitch, TSOP with 0.5 mm (20 mil) pitch,
QFP with 0.65 mm (26 mil) pitch and 160 leads, or 0402 passive
components, can be precisely placed with this system.
Subject to technical modifications. See imprint for details.

LPKF ZelPlace & BGA Placer
LPKF ZelPlace 330/340
LPKF ZelPlace 330 and 340 are the most advanced LPKF ZelPlace
systems. Both systems allow the placing of fine-pitch components
such as QFP with 0.5 mm ( 20 mil) and 0.4 mm (16 mil) pitch with
up to 300 pins, as well as 0402 components. The edge centring of
BGA components up to 1.27 mm (50 mil) pitch is also no problem
for LPKF ZelPlace 330/340.
The X-Y-guided manipulator can be locked in x and y direction
with fine adjustment using micrometer screws. This allows high
levels of placement accuracy for SMD components. The vacuum of
the pick-up nozzle is automatically turned on and off when placing
the component.
A swiveling micro camera can be mounted directly on the
manipulator to ease placement of large components. Other options
include a stereo microscope with or without a CCD camera, and a
monitor, so ZelPlace 330 or 340 can also be used as an inspection
unit.
A turntable for bulk components and a range of different feeders
can be placed ergonomically on all three sides (ZelPlace 330).
LPKF ZelPlace 340 contains an additional reworking station for
selective soldering of SMD components. In this case, the feeders
can be placed on the left side with the turntable sitting in the back.
Instead of a feeder rail a second turntable can be placed on the left
side of the system.

Semi-automatic placement of new generation components to assemble highly integrated circuit boards.
LPKF ZelPlace BGA with monitor
BGA component
Product description
The placing of components with pins hidden from the top and sides
requires reliable and precise alignment to avoid expensive and
difficult rework.
LPKF ZelPlace BGA Placer is designed for the accurate placing
of different types of BGA, CSP and flip chip components, as well as
fine-pitch and ultra-fine-pitch components. The system is suitable
for R&D labs as well as production facilities focusing on custom
designs and small batches.
Special optics and adjustable two-colour illumination help to
simultaneously view and align the PCB leads and the component
pins. Coarse and fine adjustment is achieved using an air-bearing
table with micrometer screw adjustment.
As soon as the component is aligned, it is automatically placed
at a single push of a button.
