UV Laser PCB Depaneling Machine Improve Cutting Effect

Technical Library | 2021-09-02 08:17:07.0

We are a professional manufacturer of PCB depaneling machines, which is workable for all boards, including flex and regid boards, v-scored boards and routed boards. Laser pcb depaneling is non-contact way without mechanical stress,this solution is good for modern precision PCB depaneling. It has below advantages: 1. No dust The production environment of the circuit board industry is carried out in the dust-free workshop. The traditional pcb depaneling equipment, such as blade moving type machine, will inevitably produce residues and micro powder, which will pollute the 10000 and 1000 class dust-free workshops and affect the conductivity of products. The UV laser PCB cutting machine is a vaporization processing process, which will not produce dust and is conducive to the conductivity of the product. 2. High cutting precision The processing gap of high-precision traditional processing equipment can not reach the gap width of less than 100 microns, which will cause certain damage to the lines on the edge or PCBA circuit board containing components. The focus spot of the laser cutting machine is small, and the ultraviolet cold processing mode has little thermal impact on the edge of the circuit board. The cutting position accuracy is less than 50 microns, and the cutting size accuracy is less than 30 microns, which will not affect the edge of the circuit board, and the precision is high. 3. No stress Traditional processing methods generally have V-grooves, which will cause certain damage to the board in the manufacturing process. The UV laser PCB cutting machine can directly cut the bare board without making V-grooves. In addition, the traditional processing methods directly use tools to act on the circuit board, especially the stamping method has a great impact on the circuit board, which is easy to cause board deformation. The laser cutting machine is a non-contact processing mode, which acts on the surface of the material through the high-energy beam, which will not cause the influence of stress and the deformation and damage of the circuit board. 4. For special-shaped cutting, it is easy to automate The UV laser PCB cutting machine can cut for any shape without replacing any props and fixtures, and without steel mesh. The same equipment can meet special-shaped and straight-line cutting, which is easy to realize assembly line automatic production and high flexibility. It is easy to improve production efficiency and save production process and production cycle. In particular, it can quickly and efficiently meet the needs of rapid proofing, directly import the drawing, and then locate the cutting. 5. High compatibility The UV laser PCB cutting machine can process the materials around the circuit board, such as PCB, FPC, covering film, pet, reinforcing board, IC, ultra-thin metal cutting, etc. it has strong practicability, is compatible with the processing of a variety of materials, is easy to operate, can be imported into the drawing, does not need to adjust any mechanical parts, and is easy to operate and maintain. 6. Good cutting edge effect The cutting edge is smooth and neat without burr. It can be processed and formed directly according to the size of the drawing, which is conducive to improving the yield of the product. It can be directly installed into the subsequent process without further processing. For more details about UV laser depaneling, please feel free to contact us. www.pcbdepanelingrouter.com

Adhesive Backed Plastic Stencils vs Mini Metal Stencils

Technical Library | 2015-08-27 15:32:16.0

Ever since there has been a widespread usage of surface mount parts, the trend of continued shrinkage of devices with ever finer pitches has continued to challenge PCB assemblers for the rework of same. Todays' pitches are commonly 0.5 to 0.4mm with packages of tiny outline sizes, 5 -10mm square, making the rework of such devices a challenge. In addition to the handling and inspection challenges comes the board density. Spacing to neighboring components continues to be compressed so the rework techniques should not damage neighboring components.

IMPACT OF 0201 COMPONENTS ON CURRENT MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS

Technical Library | 2023-05-02 19:16:57.0

1.5 with a 150μm specification window. For 0201 components, the minimum requirement is CpK > 2.0 with a 100μm specification window. The spec window may need to be reduced down to 75μm if the controls for high volume manufacturing are insufficient. Also directly impacting the placement quality is the ability to apply sufficient solder consistently to the board. The goal is to maintain current printing practices, but the effect of powder size will be examined. This paper will evaluate the impact of placement accuracy and solder powder size on 0201 manufacturing quality.

Step Stencil design when 01005 and 0.3mm pitch uBGA's coexist with RF Shields

Technical Library | 2023-07-25 16:50:02.0

Some of the new handheld communication devices offer real challenges to the paste printing process. Normally, there are very small devices like 01005 chip components as well as 0.3 mm pitch uBGA along with other devices that require higher deposits of solder paste. Surface mount connectors or RF shields with coplanarity issues fall into this category. Aperture sizes for the small devices require a stencil thickness in the 50 to 75 um (2-3 mils) range for effective paste transfer whereas the RF shield and SMT connector would like at least 150 um (6 mils) paste height. Spacing is too small to use normal step stencils. This paper will explore a different type of step stencil for this application; a "Two-Print Stencil Process" step stencil. Here is a brief description of a "Two-Print Stencil Process". A 50 to 75 um (2-3 mils) stencil is used to print solder paste for the 01005, 0.3 mm pitch uBGA and other fine pitch components. While this paste is still wet a second in-line stencil printer is used to print all other components using a second thicker stencil. This second stencil has relief pockets on the contact side of the stencil any paste was printed with the first stencil. Design guidelines for minimum keep-out distances between the relief step, the fine pitch apertures, and the RF Shields apertures as well relief pocket height clearance of the paste printed by the first print stencil will be provided.

Tombstoning Of 0402 And 0201 Components: "A Study Examining The Effects Of Various Process And Design Parameters On Ultra-Small Passive Devices"

Technical Library | 2021-09-01 15:31:39.0

The long-standing trend in the electronics industry has been the miniaturization of electronic components. It is projected that this trend will continue as Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Electronic Manufacturing Service (EMS) providers strive to reduce "real estate" on printed circuit boards. Typically, the miniaturization of components can be achieved by integration or size reduction. At present, size reduction is considered to be more cost effective and flexible than integration. Passive components, which are used in limiting current, terminating transmission lines and de-coupling switching noise, are the primary focus in size reduction due to their variety of uses.

PCB Design Optimization of 0201 Packages for Assembly Processes

Technical Library | 2023-05-02 19:03:34.0

The demand for 0201 components in consumer products will increase sharply over the next few years due to the need for miniaturization. It is predicted that over 20 billion 0201 components will be used in more than one billion cell phones worldwide by the year 2003. Therefore, research and development on 0201 assembly is becoming a very hot topic. The first step to achieve a successful assembly process is to obtain a good PCB design for 0201 packages. This paper presents the data and criteria of PCB design for 0201 packages, including the pad design for 0201 components, and the minimum pad spacing or component clearance between 0201 components or between 0201 and other components. A systematic study on pad design and pad spacing was undertaken, using two test vehicles and three Design of Experiments (DOEs). In the first DOE, 2 out of 18 types of 0201 pad designs were selected based on process yield. The second DOE was focused on pad spacing, including 10mil, 8mil, 6mil and 4mil. The third experiment was final optimization, using two types of optimized pad designs with 10mil, 8mil and 6mil pad spacing. Through the above experiments, the design guideline for PCB layout for 0201 packages and the assembly process capability are identified.
