Hi all, we will be moving our pcb production to a different (newer) part of the plant this summer in an effort to reduce dust and better control the temp/humidity. What can I install to keep the dust down? Are there air exchangers/filters for a room

Hi, I used to run a clean room, and it's right, most of the dust is created internally. You will need to add some HEPA filtering to the area, and an air handling unit that can control temp and humidity as well to get correct environmental control.

I will always stand with routers. Tried them all in the past in different companies, and the router seemed the least risky. With a proper extraction system and good maintenance schedule you will not have to worry too much about dust. To help even mo

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

Three main groups of depaneling equipment are: 1 Scoring: Limited to straight edges and mainly 90� angles 2 Routing: And a cloud of dust 3 Singulating: Hard tooled by board To get started understanding the suppliers look here: http://www.cassembly.c

I think you would be better off designing routing slots into your panel and then use a high speed router to cut out the PCBs. PMJ Automec/Cencorp make such equipment (I used to work for them) but have no affiliation to them anymore. Alot of peopl

if you have a budget for new machine, laser depanelising is pretty good for flex PCB as no physical stress on PCB like mechanical routing, thus fixturing is easier and less prone to moving the flex while cutting. Laser systens can also cut FR4 standa

Tabs are generally faster to cut through vs a v-scored board. Cutting the V-scored boards with a saw is an option but it is not faster...it just decreases the potential damage that can happen when using a pizza cutter. Preferred method would be to us

I think the single most important thing will be to maintain positive pressure in the room. All the air filtering will not be able to keep up if dirt is blown into the room everytime a door is opened. The next would be to control as much as possible,

what factors should be monitored and controlled during assembly of components on PCBs and their storage? Temperature and humidity seem obvious. Should one also watch out for any particular gases that may cause oxidation? Or dust?
