Abstract :
In this technique metallized substrate is fixed to the stage in coordinatograph and an elastic varnish covers its face. The coordinatograph is implemented as a desktop apparatus whose operation is controlled by LtATMELGt microcontroller connected to IBM PC through the interface of RS232C standard. The pattern of designed microstrip circuit is loaded in a form of coordinates to PC either from the keyboard or as a file. The software allows editing the pattern. The cutter rotates in order to the blade being directed in the cutting direction. The coordinatograph has working field of 48times60 mm2 , accuracy of pattern drawing is plusmn5 mum, rate of cutting ges 120 mm/min, dimensions 280times300times350 mm3
