The Minidrill is a powerful CNC machine useful for drilling and routing PCBs – all types of PCBs can
be drilled Paper phenolic, Glass epoxy and Aluminum backed PCBs. The system offers high speed of
operation and good accuracy of drilling.
Standard spindle is custom built 800 watt, 24000 rpm rated with standard 3.2 mm. Optionally,
Kavo spindles with 60000 rpm speed.
With precision ball screw and LM guides, the system offers very high accuracy.
Powerful Windows based PCB drilling software is supplied along with the machine. The software has
enhanced features found only on high end multispindle machines.
