1.1 ENERAL DESCRIPTION INTRODUCTION
•Drawing Speed and Resolution
The maximum drawing speed is 450 mm/s in all directions and so is possible to make
all-directional high-speed drawings. Also, the mechanical resolution
is 12.5 microns
(0.0125 mml.
•Electrostatic Adsorption
The electrostatic adsorption system is used for holding adrawing paper to ensure
that the paper
is set properly in place on the drawing board.
•Plotting Area
The maximum plotting area is 864 mm x 594 mm, which positively covers both ISO
standard A1-size (841 mm x 594 mm) and ANSI standardD-size (34 in. x22 in.)
papers, so that adrawing can
be done in the whole plotting area.
• Soft landing Mechanism
For pen-up and -down actions, the soft landing mechanism is provided to ensure that
apen moves up and
down smoothly. This can allow for not only agood protection
of the pen tip but also for adramatic reduction of the operation noise.
• Pen Type Discrimination Function
According to what kind of adrawing pen you use, the automatic pen control function
is provided to automatically set appropriate values of pen speed and pen force.
• Automatic Pen Return Function
Apen is automatically capped when it returns to the pen stock, so that the pen tip
is prevented from drying. Also, in automatic pen control mode, apen now in use is
automatically returned to the pen stock if adrawing instruction is notinput in acertain
specified period during drawing.
•X-Y Coordinate Display
The LED X-Y coordinate display is provided for seeing X-Y coordinates at aglance.
Since this display shows pen positions
in 0.1 mm increment, it is easy to set drawing
positions and the ratios
of extension and contraction, and also debug your program
and so forth.
•Optional Pens
Available optional pens are: water base fiber tipped pen, ceramic pen, water base
ballpoint pen, pressurized oil-based ball-pointpen, oil based fiber tipped pen, drawing
ink pen (for paper and film), and maintenance-free
tU.bular plotter pen. You can also
choose to use pen colors and tip sizes from aplenty
of their variations.
•Slant of Dedicated Stands
The two types of dedicated stands with casters ("DPS-30" and "DPS-35") are
available for the DPX-3300. You can adjust the tilt angles up to
60° and fix freely
at any angle
within the degrees with the two angle adjusting knobs.
