PRODUCTION

MIPEC 4MILL300

PCB milling machine 4MILL300 is a bench-top professional machine used as an ideal training solution for schools and universites as well as ideal machine for development and design laboratories for milling and drilling of their PCB prototypes. With 4MILL300 PCB milling machine you can mill and drill double-sided PCB’s and cut PCB outlines of any shapes. Thanks to its hi-precision leadscrews with antibacklash nuts and 60.000 RPM spindle motor in combination with solid 5 mm metal sheet chasis, the 4MILL300 can handle standard PCB designs with THT technology as well as SMD designs, antennas and various other applications. 4MILL300 can drill holes from 0,2 mm and mill conductive tracks or insulation paths with a width of 0,1 mm.

MIPEC 4MILL300ATC

The 4MILL300ATC is technically equivalent to the 4MILL300, but it has 12 possitions toolchanger and spindle with pneumatic clamp. The combination of automatic toolchange, high precission and possibility to make double sided PCBs makes this machine one of a kind. This machine has an extremelly high precission and has all the required features and accessories to produce Printed Circuit Boards prototypes in an easy and fast way. But this machine can do a lot more. The 4MILL300ATC is an excellent choice for every development or design lab as well as for departments and companies that must keep PCB designs inside their own labs for security reasons. Small product runs and prototypes can be easily fabricated fully unattended with extremely high accuracy.

Time to market is crucial for gaining competitive advantage. Easily create several re-designs per day.
Chances are that there are already Mipec machines within the organization or at affiliated companies. They all work with the same software and are 100% compatible, which makes collaboration very easy.
Mipec machines can not only be used for PCB prototyping, thanks to the removable head and the flat-milled T-groove table, they can be used as small multifunctional CNC machines.
Last but not least, your designs remain confidential; all data remains within the lab.

NOT YET CONVINCED THAT A MIPEC MACHINE CAN HANDLE YOUR PROJECT?

ROBUST CONSTRUCTION

High-precision engraving and milling can only be done on a machine that has the necessary mass to absorb any vibrations. The 4Mill300 PCB machines are made of machine steel that has been straight milled after production. The machine base is one solid piece, there are no screw connections or anything else that could compromise stability. The result is a 40 kg machine that still looks elegant and is very accurate and small.

SPINDLE MOTOR

All our machines are equipped with high precision industrial spindles with software-controlled speeds between 5 000 - 60 000 RPM, 3-phase Asynchronous brushless motor with lifetime lubricated bearings. 4.5 Ncm Torque suitable for milling work. Chuck clamping range 0,3 – 4.0 mm (Standard delivered with 1/8”). Run-out ≤ 1.5 μm. Very easy tool change by means of a clamping knob.

HIGH WORKING SPEED

4mill300 machines can work very fast thanks to state of the art embedded software and electronics. The milling and drilling speed is controlled automatically via our CAM software TrackMaker. This speed depends on the tool used and the work to be performed. For example, holes smaller than 0.8mm are usually drilled at speeds of approximately 120 holes per minute and large holes of, for example, 3mm at 30 holes per minute.

UNIQUE SOFTWARE TRACKMAKER

The main advantage of our software is its unrivalled ease of use. Unlike other software on the market, TrackMaker is designed to be completely user friendly, meaning that no previous CNC programming knowledge is required. Users can start milling immediately without the steep learning curve associated with other systems. Intuitive user interface simplifies PCB preparation - Competitive software often requires complex manual adjustments, whereas TrackMaker automates the entire process.

FLAT MILLED ALUMINIUM WORKTABLE

The milling quality is strongly determined by the material and the stability of the milling table. In the 4Mill300 machines this table is made of 20mm thick, flat milled aluminium which is equipped with an alignment system for milling double-sided printed circuit boards.It is important to note that this aluminium table is made in such a way that a vacuum table can be easily mounted on it (available separately).

PRECISE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT

Micron-precise milling depth adjustment allows highly accurate isolation routing, slotting, and drilling without the risk of excessive material removal. This technology enables reliable milling of very fine structures for SMD, RF, and HDI PCBs, where precise depth control is essential. Besides the above mentioned, precise depth setting ensures optimal tool load, increasing tool lifespan and reducing consumable costs.

SAVE MONEY

In-house PCB prototyping using Mipec PCB milling machines significantly reduces the time and cost associated with outsourcing PCB production. Any design changes or new PCB designs can be instantly transferred to the CNC machine, allowing milling, drilling and cutting to take place within minutes. Combined with SMT prototyping tools, boards can be populated and tested in a very short time.

NO CHEMICALS

Environmentally friendly and economical: MIPEC offers a dry PCB prototyping process that is both environmentally friendly and economically viable. With our machines, handling chemicals for etching, developing or striping is a thing of the past.

PCB milling is a clean, non-chemical process that doesn't require special environmental conditions. Mipec PCB milling machines can be easily installed in any laboratory or designer's office, making them ideal for complete in-house PCB prototyping.
