Product Overview

DLCNC aims to provide customers with a total solution that embodies professional cutting edge and timely service. The PCB router machine was independently developed by DLCNC in China.

Four spindles run from a single Z axis so four boards are cut in the same pass. For a shop moving from manual depanelling or from a two head machine this is normally the first step that removes routing from the critical path.

Technical Features

  • Customized table and tool count
  • Cost effective four spindle output
  • Steady cut quality across all four stations
  • Easy going operation interface

Key Benefits

Four boards per cycle

Four spindles cut together from one Z axis which multiplies the output of a single head machine without multiplying the machine cost.

Consistent edge quality

Positioning accuracy ±0.01mm and repeatability ±0.005mm hold the same profile on every station.

Fits standard panel formats

520mm by 650mm processing area with 700mm by 825mm by 55mm XYZ movement area.

Ready for auto pin insert

The routing line can be specified with the patented auto pin insert function that removes the manual pinning step.

Who It Is For

  • PCB fabricators depanelling rigid boards after solder mask and surface finish
  • Assembly houses separating assembled panels into single boards
  • Shops producing slots cut outs and irregular board frames
  • Buyers who need a wider or longer work table than a standard model provides

Problems It Solves

  • Manual pin insertion pushing up labour cost and introducing position error
  • Output rate limited because a single spindle routes one board at a time
  • Standard table size too small for the panel format actually used in the plant
  • Cut depth on partial depth routing that cannot be held without depth control

Use and Maintenance Guide

Before The Shift

Check appearance spindle and tool cassette tooling computer electric cabin lubricant oil cooling liquid air pipe tooling box and shelf. Run the spindle at low speed for at least ten minutes.

Every Week

Cut the power first. Clean inside and outside lubricate the worktable clean and lubricate the collet and sort the computer cables. About one hour on the night shift.

Every Month

Add guide rail cover removal cleaning and lubrication the limit switch check and the electric cabin fan filter. About one and a half hours with repair staff present.

When Accuracy Drifts

Work the four factors in order. Equipment condition then technics parameters then tool status then operator method.

Questions and Answers

4 Heads PCB CNC Routing Machine FAQ

How much faster is four heads than two heads
Four spindles cut four boards in the cycle that two spindles use for two boards. The XY feed rate is the same 28m/min so the gain comes from the station count.
Why is the R14 table smaller than the R12 table
The R14 processing area is 520mm by 650mm against 680mm by 730mm on the R12 because four spindle carriages occupy more of the beam. Both share the same 700mm by 825mm by 55mm XYZ movement area.
Can I add depth control
Yes. Depth control is listed as a customized model example on the routing series along with a wider and longer work table.
Which tools does the machine use
PCB milling cutters from φ0.6mm to φ6.35mm. DLCNC supplies milling cutters collets and drill bits in all diameters and specifications.
