| Looking for a manual machine to de-panel with the panels held by 60mm tabs. Each panel hold multi-boards consisting of different shapes and sizes. Scoring is apparently not an option and volume does not dictate a large scale machine. | Try CAB T

Our front panels (where the controls show) for our assembled amplifiers are anodized and we make sure that it is free from oils or other stains prior packing the whole assembled unit. We just use damp cloth in cleaning and sometimes flux remover for

The mounted panels (8" by 8") are stacked in carriers, 0.5" between panels, 20 panels per carrier. There are no missing parts or other damage due to carelessness. Anyone bumping a panel is summarily executed by the company firing squad. As someone

I'm no expert but my understanding from our processes is that each board in a panel is individually photo etched with it's own fiducial marks. When it is being assembled the placements on each board are referenced to their respective fiducials for co

Is there a standard rule/guide for the orientation of pcb's in a panel for panelised board (specially for routed panel). i often get this question from peeps here and i kept telling them that it depends on how it affects the process. thanks and regar

Yes, there are a few companies that make de-paneling equipment, Cab is one of the larger they make scoring and tab de-panelers. Just keep in mind regardless to what type of equipment is used if the parts are to close to the board you still run the ri

Can anyone tell me how thick is too thick for panelization to be used. We have a board current that is 100 mils thick and I was told it can not be panelized. Could anyone tell me if this is true or not.

We are running mainly aluminum boards and lots of them are not square shaped. You can panelize any shape board, you need just add little routing to your panel design. I attached one picture with panelization example (routing and V-cut mixed).

Our reflow oven builds solder on one specific panel type. It will have solder buildup inside the oven. We then end up with small solder balls on our panels. We think it may be the solder paste, the screen printer is leaving a clean wipe under the pa

I have a question for the experts. After a panel is printed, how long is too long for the panel to sit prior to reflow? I understand each paste will be different, wondering if there is a general rule of thumb?
