One problem you may have with deeper scoring is not so much broads breaking apart unintentionally, but warping upstream while on the SMT line which can cause sagging. This may give you transport issues from one machine to another, and if you have an

Cracked parts close to the edge on pizza cutters are a common problem. There are a lot of stresses on the board as the blade cuts through the board. Raising the blade height so that the boards are not cut clean through will help. You will have to fi

| I am looking for information on the amount of stress a component sees during the depaneling process. I am currently specifying a new piece of depaneling equipment and I have not found any studies that quantitatively compare the amount of stress di

Hi Steve I had that problem before and what caused this it was the vibration of the depaneling process, without hitting any component, if the capacitor is too close to the depaneling edge chances are you are facing the same problem I had. The way how

Matt, believe it or not, but mechanical stress is cracking these internally and you can't see it with bare eye. Consider de-paneling as a root cause if parts are close to the de-panel V-score edge/router tabs. I can send you more information.

Igmar, Have had similar problems in the past caused by different factors. The first obvious area to check is in your pick and place machine. Too much force in the Z-Direction may cause micro-cracks, which are not apparent, until the board is proces

Aluminum shreds were found inside the tooling hole after depaneling. We ruled out contamination because the tooling holes were covered during depaneling. Out of three holes, only 2 holes with positioning columns inside have aluminum shreds residue.

I have issues with damaging PCB with depaneling in my company. Mostly mousebite depaneling and some vscore. I have looked into laser depaneling, pneumatic, routers, hand tools but have not found something that I can put full trust in. To understand m

Background on the PCB: Thickness: .032" Material: Standard Fr4 V-score: Leaves .016" (approx .008" cuts on either side) We are having some issues on these boards where the edges are delaminating all the way to the copper during de-panel. Now, we are
