Subject: Re: New Project: Camera for PCB drilling

Hi,

If you want to do something extra ordinary PCB drilling with camera
do it like this.
1. Z-axis under the table with camera centered on drillbit.
This requires very sharp drillbits as you dont have any sacrifing
layer to drill into.
2. foot to hold down pcb material, solenoid driven
3. switch on the floor to control Z-axis

This is easy drilling with high precision = high magnification needed.

Soldering with the aid of a camera = LOT OF PRACTICE and a good
distance from lens to PCB. Inspection = OK if high magnification.
