Hello,
Is this to be used for exposing the pcb directly? Or a photofilm?
Bacause there are photofilms which can work with a standard red hene
wavelength diode. (600-675nm)
You'll need opticcs to focus the beam, and good parallelism between
axes and table, to keep the spot size consistent.
Be aware that either way, using the cnc/plotter in this xy way is
SLOOooowwww.... (And you've got to maintain "safe" lighting condition
during this time.)
My cheap machines can easily accomodate this usage, but I'm looking
into offering a cheap drum type photoplotter as well.
Along that thought, would an 8x10 or 12x12 film size be adequate? Or
do you guys need 12x18? Or?
