I need support to find out a good compact depanelling equipment that can be setup in a work cell as part of the final assy process for PCBs with scoring groove. If someone has experience with something similar any suggestion of guidance will be helpf

Hi Beto, We've been using for more than 3 years the "FKN Systek Model K3000S", It's very simple, cheap and easy to use. So far so good, no issues at all. Good luck!!

I've been using the SEP1M, which functions well for mechanical separation. I recommend the motor driven version. http://www.olamefusa.com/e_sep1.htm#SEP1M

we also use the FKN Systek K3000, we have 4 of these and two of the motorized K4000's both are easy to use and reliable. FKN also has a blade sharpening service.

We have several, the one everyone likes is a Fancort VPD5-330. We were having trouble with cracked ceramics near the score line with our pizza cutter style depaneler. The linear blade made it go away entirely. Not the cheapest, though.

Caution: Do not overlook the dust and fragments that will result from this activity. Clean the PCBs somehow to avoid that simple problem. If of course, that this happens on the front end.

We've experienced the same thing: Customers bring a board to us suspecting a certain problem, only to find, after Xplane analysis by us, that the defect is different or lies elsewhere.

The 237*C is under the inductor with aTAL of 48s. I worked on the profiles this morning an got the max temp up a few degrees and the TAL to 62s. I will check the body temp of the Elec caps. The rest of the board has a max temp of 247. Thanks Gm

Gary, We are missing something here. I see no evidence of reflow at all. If you have a thermo couple under the inductor, 237 deg with a TAL of 48 seconds should work all day long.(even though it may be on lower end of process window) SAC melts at 21

I drilled a small hole from the other side in order to get my thermocouple under the inductor pad. I did not have anything on hand to fill the hole, so I covered with kapton tape the best I could. I suspect that is why it looks like it should work.
