Why this product

What it gives you

Stress-free separation

Routing cuts only the material between boards, so bending and thermal stress stay away from solder joints and delicate components.

Recipe-driven changeover

Each panel has its own cutting program. Changeover is a recipe select, not a fixture rebuild.

Inline or standalone

Runs as a standalone cell or drops into an existing SMT line with an SMEMA handshake.

What it does

The machine holds the panel on a vacuum table, follows a stored cut path with a high-speed spindle and deposits dust into an extraction port. Because the path lives in software, adding a new panel variant is a programming change rather than a mechanical redesign.

A guarded enclosure with interlocked doors and a two-hand start keeps the operator clear of the cutting area. Cycle status, recipe name and cut count are shown on the HMI and can be logged to a plant network.

Applications

  • Singulating mixed-technology panels
  • Thin and flexible substrates that cannot take shear stress
  • Post-assembly depaneling after conformal coating
  • Low-to-medium volume builds with frequent panel changes

What we hand over

  • HMI with a starter recipe set for your panels
  • Dust extraction port and vacuum table
  • Tool kit with spare router bits
  • Factory acceptance run on your sample panels
