Depanel thin board | 29 May, 2015

We have a small board about 1" by .5" and it is .012" thick. It is in a 50 up panel. We have tried rat bites and v-score and we keep seeing delamination around the edges. Anyone have experience depaneling boards this thin?

Wow that's thin. We do lots of flex = similar thickness. We do most on a router but in a pinch we cut them out with a good pair of scissors.

They are too small to use on our router. Is there a way to cut boards with a press?

I've done V score that thin, but it takes some doing. Using a twin linear knife type machine.

In quantity this seems like a perfect job for laser, though.

.012 Is too thin for our Press & Die. How are you fixturing the panel on your router ? Do you have a deticated fixture for it?

Have you tried the so called push-back or re-insertion type panel? 5mm*12mm*0.3mm thick FR-4, 120-up panel is doable.
