PCB Depaneling Laser Marking

All of us are surrounded by various technologies day and night and we want to be your go-to manufacturer in the latest technology production.

Think of all the devices we use in a day: our phones, our TVs, the computers we work on; the systems in our cars deploying the airbags or medical components that save lives. All of these technologies have one thing in common – they all have printed circuit boards (PCBs) hidden somewhere inside the design.

What is PCB depaneling?

PCB depaneling is the process of removing numerous smaller, individual boards from a larger panel during manufacturing.

The laser process used keeps delicate components, soldered connections, and fragile substrates from any mechanical stress. Due to minimal space between the boards, there is more value per panel. In addition, components can be placed adjacent to each other to minimize unnecessary bulk and weight.

PCBs are usually manufactured in large panels with multiple boards, but can also be produced as single units. The depaneling process can be fully automatic, semi-automatic, or manual. This brings lower throughput, along with eliminating the added cost of tooling and waste removal associated with mechanical methods.

Why are PCBs Important?

Without PCBs, recent electronic designs would not have been possible. These marvels of technology support and connect all the electronic components needed to make the magic happen inside a device or machine.

The miniature design of various devices that require printed circuit boards is pushing the limits of electrical performance.

With continued advances in integrated circuit (IC) fabrication, the number and density of connections to interface the devices continue to rise.

In order to further aid in the increased output of PCBs while still maintaining a small size, depaneling was created.
