What Types of Panels Are Suitable for Cutting with a Milling Cutter Depaneling Machine?

⚙ A milling cutter depaneling machine is one of the most versatile solutions for PCB separation. It is designed to cut a wide range of panel types while maintaining precision, low stress, and smooth edges. Unlike manual breaking or V-cut only methods, milling offers flexibility for complex board designs. But what types of panels are most suitable for milling? Let’s explore. ✂️ Standard FR4 PCBs The most common material used in printed circuit boards is FR4, a fiberglass-reinforced epoxy laminate. Milling cutter depaneling machines handle FR4 with ease, delivering clean edges without damaging internal layers. They are especially useful when PCBs have irregular outlines or dense component placement near the […]
