The process of PCB Depaneling can be prosecuted via easy-to-handle manual\u00a0Depaneling Pliers\u00a0or by using automated complex PCB Depaneling Systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the high-volume electronics assembly production the Panel <\/strong>stands for a PCB (printed circuit board), that consists of many smaller individual PCBs that will be used in the final product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The panel may comprise identical circuit functions with the same structure or different circuit functions on single boards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A production panel comprises at least two single PCBs. The large panel is broken up or \u201cdepaneled\u201d in a certain step on the process. This process step is called Depaneling or PCB Separation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here we would like to present 2 possible depaneling methods:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Manual Depaneling Pliers<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. DPF 200 Depaneling System<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Manual Depaneling Pliers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The manual depaneling pliers is a hand tool suitable for strain-resistant circuits (e.g. without SMD components). The operator simply breaks the PCB, usually along a prepared V-groove line, with the help of a proper fixture. <\/p>\n\n\n

    This is a safe way to depanel, which leaves a smooth cutting surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The isthmus (that means the width of the conncting part shall not exceed 2,5 mm and the maximum PCB thickness shall not exceed 2 mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ideal transmission of power and an excellent ergonomical handling garantuees the quality we are used from products by Piergiacomi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    DPF 200 Depaneling System<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    This newly designed manual workdesk is the ideal tool to depanel quickly and safely using a saw \u2013 especially if the investment for a fully-automated application is to expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    The rail system equipped with a saw, applied for a patent, supports the user to work with on a consistent quality level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Already mounted parts on the panel do not get harmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The cut width of the replaceable rail ranges from 1,5mm \u2013 2,5mm, the maximum PCB thickness shall not exceed 2,5 mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
