Ballendo,

I've already figured out that the 101HI-P is $heavy PCB prototyping machine. I'm still waiting for it to arrive to me. I did some research on the Net and found some details on it:

Verfahrbereich X/Y:420 mm x 375 mm
Wiederholgenauigkeit:+/- 0,01mm
Genauigkeit des Passlochsystems:+/- 0,02mm
Fräsbohrspindel:3-Phasenmotor 6.000-60.000 UpM
Werkzeugwechsel:manuelles Spannen der Spanzange
mittels Druckluft
Werkzeugaufnahme:3 mm Spannzange
Bohrleistung:120 Hübe/min
Verfahrgeschwindigkeit:60 mm/sec
Frästiefenjustierung:luftgelagerte, berührungslose Abtastung
X/Y-AntriebPräzisionskugelumlaufspindel, Führung mit
8 Linearlagern, Schrittmotore
Z-Antrieb:pneumatisch
Maschinengrundplatte:20 mm Präzisionsaluminium, plangefräst
Maße(L/B/H): 730 mm/660 mm/330 mm
Gewicht: 71 kg
Leiterplattengravur:alle 1- und 2-seitigen Platinentypen(SMD)
in höchster Bestückungsdichte (Feinstleitertechnik)
Leiterplattenbohren:ab 0,3 mm Durchmesser


If this is of some help. I've roughly recreated th schematic of one motor drive from an badly scanned fax from which I can not read all the component markings, but it is obviously a 5/ phase drive system. If I do not succeed in getting more info on communicating language, port settings for computer etc., I'll ask the group (and you).

For now,
Best regards

Zoran,

The LPKF machine you have is a high dollar item! VERY high quality,
and if you change the drives, you likely won't be able to use their
software any longer, and it is VERY GOOD; assuming you are looking to
engrave or do pcb work!!!

There is(or should be) a "nosecone" around the cutter which has 3
ball bearings which ride on the surface of the material and limit the
depth of cut when engraving pcb, or other material(signage, or front
panel work).

This machine is STILL worth MANY thousands of dollars! Be sure you
are not destroying the value you ALREADY have...

LPKF is still very active in the pcb machine market, and has a
website and USA distributor.
I would certainly check to see what they can/will do for you!!!!

Hope this helps.

P.S. The 89series and 91series are cheaper models, so you can get an
idea that a 101HI-P is NOT the bottom of the line...

P.P.S. PMD makes motion control chips. They *may* be the source of
the chip you see. Performance Motion Devices
