Industry Application

PCB Depaneling and Profiling

Routing is where the panel becomes the product. DLCNC machines are applied in the precision drilling and milling of irregular slots holes and frames which is the work a press tool cannot do.

R16 six head CNC PCB router used for volume depaneling and profiling

Industry Pain Points

  • Routing output rate limiting the whole line when only one or two spindles are cutting
  • Manual pin insertion adding labour cost and introducing a position error
  • Board edge quality that varies between stations on a multi head machine
  • A standard table that does not match the panel format the plant actually runs

What Buyers Ask For

  • The right number of spindles for the batch size rather than the largest machine available
  • Repeatable profile tolerance across every station
  • A table sized to the real panel format
  • Depth control where the cut must not go through the board

Typical Application Scenarios

Small batch board routing

The two head R12 with a 680mm by 730mm table covers small batch work and can be supplied with a bigger table.

General production routing

The four head R14 cuts four boards per cycle on a 520mm by 650mm processing area.

Volume batch routing

The six head R16 runs three independent Z axes at 35m/min XY feed to lift the output rate.

Large or non standard formats

The LMR12 planer type machine is built on a full granite gantry frame for customized formats.

Solution Process

Send the board outline

Board size panel format slot geometry and whether any cut is partial depth.

Choose the spindle count

Two four or six heads against your batch size and cycle time target.

Confirm the options

Table enlargement depth control CCD camera and auto pin insert are specified at this point.

Questions and Answers

PCB Depaneling and Profiling FAQ

What routing tolerance is achievable
Routing accuracy is ±0.05mm with positioning accuracy ±0.01mm and repeatability ±0.005mm across the R12 R14 and R16 series.
Why do routing machines use ball bearing spindles
Routing machines prefer ball bearing spindles for their torque. Drilling machines prefer air bearing spindles for the high speed that improves drilling precision.
Can I route without inserting pins by hand
Yes. The patented auto pin insert function removes the manual step. Most routing machine orders now specify it.
What routing diameters are supported
Routing diameter φ0.6mm to φ6.35mm and drilling diameter φ0.5mm to φ6.35mm on the routing series.
