Fancort Industries, Inc., a global supplier of cost-effective solutions to electronics manufacturers, today announced a breakthrough in separating metalized PCBs.
As the lighting industry continues to expand production using metal LED boards, the need has grown for a reliable machine that can quickly separate these narrow metal panels without stress, and with equipment that won’t require a lot of maintenance. Fancort is introducing such a machine with the CL-100, which can handle single-sided, metalized, or FR-4 panels of any length.
The CL-100 uses three sets of round knives that are positioned at different heights to separate in three sequential steps, but the process is very fast. By using three sets of knives, the wear on the knives and the stress on the boards are minimal. The machine is motor driven and uses a starting and ending table to lay the panel so the operator can easily feed the panel into and through the knives. The table comes in a standard length of 7.8 ft with 3.5 ft at the front and 3.5 ft at the rear. Other length tables are available on request.
The CL-100 can separate boards from 0.8-3.5 mm in thickness, and the maximum speed of the machine is 400 mm/second. The machine weighs 45 kg and has a one year warranty.
