Looking into options besides routing for a .032" thick board with components located near edges. Has anyone ever tried water jet cutting or other technologies for a high volume, high mix environment.

We are currently running a new product with some very tight tolerances while depaneling. We are using a table top 3 axis robot w/ a drill. My question is what is the min/max distance between a component and the edge of the board? I'm having a hard ti

I have a new contract with boards that have straight edges and are good for v-score breakout panel design. However, many of the traces are very close to the edge of the board so I am concerned that the traces could be damaged when we run them throug

I haven't heard of heating boards pre-depanel either. We have done extensive studies on cracking of ceramic caps close to V-scored edges and have decided to have our board vendors pre-rout any areas with caps close (

We used a similar part and adjusted the routing so that the front edge of the connector was supported and therefore keeping the connector flat and it not being able to tip forward. I don't know if this is something that you can do with your board?

Hi Randy, From a bare board manufacturers stand point, scoring is probably faster and easier but has limitations. If your boards are square or rectangle scoring will work fine. Once assembled the scored grooves can be sliced apart using what is some

I have a small board in a 5x5 array. Thickness is .014". The fist build, the array was all routed with mouse-bites. Customer doesn't like the edge left by the mouse-bites. Board house says they can't v-score a board that thin. I'm not sure what o

We are leaving 12-18 thousands material when scoring. Several components are cracking during depanelization. The pizza cutter machines out there are either too expensive or too slow to solve our problem. I am looking for a magical solution. In case

| Dear collegues, | I like to have your comments/ experience with various methods of depanelization like routing, scoring, cutting etc. | Any feed back on the equipment used with company addresses will be highly appreciated. | Please identify if pos

We have an array of boards that are difficult to depanel due to components being close to the edge. I want to route a space between strips (boards are 14" long x 1" wide) and have breakaway tabs like mouse bites, but the customer won't accept the ja
