Is this what you are looking for? We do this on quite a few boards and it has eliminated component problems from the Cab depaneler (pizza cutter)

Well, I've never "set it up" (wasn't sure whether it would be appropriate or not:-)), but considering we are all rather far away form each other, I would be happy to send the best pizza from the area where the winner lives :-) How does it sound? :-)

Yeah sorry my automatic response. It seems like every new person I've ever taken thru an SMT tour has always asked the same thing. And its always pizza every time.

We had this same problem several years ago. The caps and resistors were cracking when we snapped the boards apart. We now use a pizza cutter style depanelizer. A couple of manufacturers that I know of are CAB and Fancort. I hope this helps.

We have several, the one everyone likes is a Fancort VPD5-330. We were having trouble with cracked ceramics near the score line with our pizza cutter style depaneler. The linear blade made it go away entirely. Not the cheapest, though.

We use standard "pizza cutter" type depanelizer. You just need to use knives made for aluminum boards, because standard ones gets dull quite fast if used on aluminum. CAB has special knives for aluminum, but I think other manufacturers offers simila

We use scored boards almost exclusively on our new products, but there are some things to be aware of. 1) If it has SMT on it, hand breaking it is a bad idea (our customers refuse to discuss it). 2) Pizza cutters are a bad idea (our customers shou

| A buddy of mine has problems after depaneling double sided pre-scored PCB's. Resistors near the edge, after put into the slice and dice machine contain micro cracks. He's checked for them before and after depaneling. We figure it is the sectioni

I wonder what that would look like? BUILD DCOUMENTATION Paste: OA XYZ-123 SOLDER PASTE. Note: Place refridgerated paste tube in Goldstar Microwave (3rd from the end of the break-room). Press "defrost" "forzen dinner". Do not defrost solder paste
