How to Eliminate Burrs in the PCB Depaneling Process

In PCB manufacturing, burrs—those tiny, unwanted metal or fiberglass edges—are a common issue during depaneling. They may seem minor, but they can lead to serious quality concerns such as electrical shorts, poor solderability, and reduced product reliability. This article explores how to eliminate burrs in the PCB depaneling process, comparing traditional and advanced methods, and sharing insights from real factory applications. ⚙️ Understanding the Root Cause of Burrs Burrs typically form when the cutting stress between the tool and PCB substrate exceeds material tolerance.Key causes include: In manual or saw-blade depaneling, mechanical contact is the main culprit. Operators apply force inconsistently, and even small deviations in angle or speed can […]

How a European Factory Boosted PCB Output by 70% with SEPRAYS Router Machine

PCB depaneling plays a crucial role in electronics manufacturing — it’s the final step between assembly and product readiness. Yet for many factories, it remains a bottleneck. Long cycle times, uneven cutting quality, and costly manual handling all limit productivity. A European electronics manufacturer recently faced these exact challenges. By adopting the SEPRAYS Router Machine, the company transformed its production line, achieving a 70% increase in PCB output — all while improving yield and reducing operating costs. 🔍 The Pain Points: Manual and Semi-Automatic Limitations Before upgrading, the factory relied on semi-automatic depaneling with operator-assisted routing. While sufficient for small batches, it caused several pain points when scaling up: As […]
