I was looking at depaneling machines and i need to know the pros and cons of the different technolgies. also I would like to know personal opinioons of which machines are better and more cost effective. thanks jake

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 sectioning

What kind of "slice and dice machine" do you use? I assume you're referring to what I call a score-breaker -- a device to separate the board from the panel (or from the adjacent board) by crushing the score-line WITHOUT bending the panel or the boar

If you have decent volume with high mix or are a contract shop, the most flexible method is a software controlled router. Using pre routed boards with tabs is not a bad way to go but there is a price for the pre routing that may more than justify the

If you go with tabs/mouse bites, both FKN and Cab make simple pneumatic shears for removing the tabs. For low to moderate volumes, they're very cost effective. MikeMcM

What we did was design or panels with routed out edges held on by tabs. This was very effective. All we use is a pair of pneumatic scissors to cut off the tabs. We are using from single-to 13 layer PCB's and we have had no problems with delamination

A word of caution: thick webs (i.e., shallow score grooves) can result in scrapped boards, especially if you've got the dual-wheel-type score breaking machine. I discovered recently that shallow score grooves, combined with DULL knife-edge guides on
