Product Overview
The D3X applies to printed circuit board drilling and is economical accurate and quick. The granite base frame gives good rigidity and good vibration absorption so the bed is not inclined to distortion.
Linear motors on all three axes remove the ball screw from the drive train. Feed rate rises to 80m/min on XY and 50m/min on Z and position is read directly by a high precision linear scale rather than inferred from screw rotation.
Configuration
- XYZ axis linear motor
- High precision linear scale and guide
- Granite marble base frame
Technical Features
- XYZ independent structure with linear motor to improve the drilling speed
- Quick drill function reduces the waiting time
- QIC function improves the drilling accuracy and speed
- Smart gripper design picks and loads efficiently and precisely
- 220pcs tooling capacity for the spindle to handle
- Automatic tooling length and diameter check
- Contacted tooling broken detection greatly reduces reaction time
- Water cooling system with real time monitoring on cooling temperature and water flow to protect the spindles
Key Benefits
Highest feed rate in the range
80m/min on XY and 50m/min on Z which is the fastest Z axis of the four drilling series.
Direct position feedback
A high precision linear scale reads the axis position directly. Linear scale needs a clean environment so contamination control matters on this build.
No ball screw recalibration
Linear motor drive removes the annual ball screw recalibration that a screw driven table needs.
Same tooling automation as D2X and D4X
220pcs capacity automatic tool length and diameter check and contacted broken tool detection.

Who It Is For
- PCB fabricators drilling multilayer rigid boards in volume
- Quick turn and prototype shops that change tool sets many times per shift
- In house PCB departments inside electronics manufacturers
- Machine dealers and service partners covering the PCB equipment market
- Hole location accuracy drifting outside the CPK window the customer has to report
- Long waiting time between drill cycles caused by slow tool change and tool checking
- Broken drill bits discovered only after a whole panel stack is scrapped
- Spindle damage caused by cooling water that is not monitored in real time

Use and Maintenance Guide
Before The Shift
Check appearance spindle and tool cassette tooling computer electric cabin lubricant oil cooling liquid air pipe tooling box and shelf. Run the spindle at low speed for at least ten minutes.
Every Week
Cut the power first. Clean inside and outside lubricate the worktable clean and lubricate the collet and sort the computer cables. About one hour on the night shift.
Every Month
Add guide rail cover removal cleaning and lubrication the limit switch check and the electric cabin fan filter. About one and a half hours with repair staff present.
When Accuracy Drifts
Work the four factors in order. Equipment condition then technics parameters then tool status then operator method.

D3X PCB Drilling Machine FAQ
Why choose linear motors over ball screws
Linear motor drive gives a quicker feed rate. On the DLCNC range that is 80m/min on XY against 50m/min for the ball screw driven D2X.
Does the linear scale need special care
Linear scale has higher precision but it is sensitive to dust so contamination has to be kept away from it. This is covered in the machine maintenance schedule.
Is drilling accuracy better than D2X
Drilling accuracy is ±1mil on D2X D3X and D4X. What changes on the D3X is the speed at which that accuracy is delivered.
What is the difference between D3X and D4X
D3X uses a linear motor on the Z axis and reaches 50m/min there. On D4X the Z axis runs at 30m/min.
