Depaneling Systems for precise, stress-free board separation

Our depaneling systems use advanced and proven separation techniques Sawing, Routing, and Laser cutting to achieve exceptional precision, with accuracies down to 100μm. Whether you need to separate rigid or flexible PCBs from different materials, our systems meet diverse production requirements. We offer customizable setups for Offline, Island, and Inline configurations, allowing seamless integration into your existing processes. Regardless of the material, size or contour, our systems provide accurate and efficient panel separation.

Depaneling technologies

Optimized cutting technologies for every PCB design

Milling (Routing)

Milling is a highly flexible depaneling method that uses a high-speed spindle to cut complex shapes and contours. It offers excellent precision and low mechanical stress, making it ideal for sensitive or densely populated PCBs.

Sawing

Sawing is a fast, efficient method for straight-line depaneling, particularly in high-volume production. With minimal cutting width and consistent accuracy, it's a reliable choice when speed and repeatability are key.

Laser Cutting

Laser depaneling delivers ultra-precise, contactless cutting—ideal for intricate layouts, fine-pitch components, and thin or delicate substrates. It ensures minimal mechanical or thermal impact, perfect for high-end or miniaturized electronics.

Your advantages

Easy to teach

Quickly program the system by uploading DXF files or using the integrated vision system to scan the board.

High repeatability

Achieve consistent, reliable results across every cycle. From the first board to the last.

Low board stress

Protect sensitive components from mechanical stress by high-end grippers and adaptable fixtures

Highly accurate

Deliver clean, burr-free cuts and tight tolerances for precise board separation every time.

Minimal maintenance

Engineered with durable components to reduce wear and extend uptime, ensuring long-term reliability.

High throughput

Benefit from short cycle times and optimized workflows for maximum efficiency and output.

Automation that fits your manufacturing

From flexible Offline systems to fully integrated Inline solutions

Offline

Offline depaneling systems are semi-automatic machines where operators manually load and unload PCBs. These systems feature rotary tables with two working areas, allowing for efficient handling of PCBs. They are ideal for small to medium batch sizes and offer flexibility in handling various product variants.

Inline

Inline depaneling systems are fully automated and integrated directly into a depaneling island or SMD production line. PCBs are automatically fed into the system, depaneled, and then transported to the next process without manual intervention. These systems are designed for high-volume, high-mix production.
