Introducing FKN Systek Depanelizer with Linear Guide Table for Small PCBs
April 20, 2026 | FKN SystekEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Singulating small PCBs with circular blade depanelizers can be a tedious repetitive process which can easily result in board damage due to operator fatigue. Increase process quality and safety by using the FKN Systek K2010 motorized circular blade depanelizer with a support table to separate the V-Scored boards.
The operator places the panel onto the front and back guide rails and brings it forward through the front blade guards to be singulated by two 2.5 “ dia. Circular blades. The front blade guards are adjustable so that panel can only be moved forward if the score-line is nested on the lower guide. Two blade guards at the output side of the cutting area prevent operator access to the sharp blades.
The PCB support rail on the left input side of the guide table have an adjustable board stop which can be set to quickly position each panel precisely to enter the cutting plane at the V-Score. Standard support tables have a front and back guide rail which can be universally adjusted to fit a variety of smaller V-Scored PCBs. Customized nesting plates can be designed to your specs for secure board handling during the depaneling process.
Proudly made in the USA, FKN Systek offers customizable tooling and in-line systems. Our durable HSS blades are designed for long life and can be resharpened.

Elementary, Mr. Watson DFX—Basically a Basket of Crabs With Spreadsheets
04/22/2026 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonOne of the joys of living in San Diego is that I'm never far from the ocean. Aside from burying my toes in the sand at the beach, I particularly enjoy going down where the fishing boats come in. I once watched a fisherman standing beside several baskets of crabs. Most had lids tied on, but one was completely open. Curious, I asked why he wasn't worried about them escaping. It reminded me of a well-known story.
Smart Automation: The Journey of a Component Through an SMT Factory
04/22/2026 | Josh Casper -- Column: Smart AutomationIn electronics manufacturing, the SMT line tends to get most of the attention. Placement machines, inspection systems, screen printers, and reflow ovens often take center stage when discussing productivity improvements or new equipment investments. While these systems are obviously critical to the manufacturing process, they only represent a portion of the journey every component takes before becoming part of a finished assembly.
