PCB Laser Depaneling Systems from LPKF

LPKF’s PCB depaneling systems produce a better product at a lower cost. Advantages of laser PCB depaneling machines include:

No stress - Mechanical methods are hard on the solder joints of a PCB.
No burrs - A laser-cut board’s edge is smooth and clean; there is no need for further downstream processing.
No particles - Lasers don’t create the dust particles generated by traditional mechanical cutting methods such as dicing saws and routers. Therefore, any downstream cleaning can be eliminated entirely from the production line.
