New Webinar on Laser Depaneling SMTA Webinars On February 9th, Josh Brown of LPKF Laser & Electronics will walk you through the advantages and disadvantages of laser depaneling in comparison to more traditional methods of depaneling such as routing,

I have done some initial testing and looks like a 60W C02 laser can be used effectively for depanelizing boards. Charing initially is significant but by reducing power and making multiple passes AND flooding with Nitrogen I expect this an be reduced

And new not used? It sounds like something I would not want to buy used. What the time like with multiple passes?

cut time was very good (not a concern) Main advantage is flexibility and simpler fixturing than routing as there are no side forces. Charing was evident, but can be reduced with a few tweaks.

We use both labels and lasers to mark our boards. Since implementing the lasers, the downtime attributed to bar code labels on those lines have dropped to virtually nothing. We still have problems with the labels wrinkling during reflow making read

@Stephen How big was the adapter board? It's challenging to depanelize and tedious to manually put these tiny assemblies in a tray.

And pin outs of both. Once I saw a SOT-6 replaced with a miniSOT-6 (IIRC) The pin outs of the two parts were different. We did make an adaptor board and it wasn't too bad. We populated a panel of the adaptor boards, depanelized them and put them in t

A laser cut stainless steel stencil was used exclusively for the evaluation of the complete 0201 assembly process, which addressed printing, placement, and reflow. However, I have also conducted off-line 0201 print tests using a nickel electroformed

The boards were just a little larger than a SOT8. IIRC we had a pizza slicer type depanelizer and it wasn't too bad. We just did enough to populate the bare PCBs we had. Where I am now a customer has us put a QFP and a few other parts on a SOW28 f
