After the design of a PCB is completed, the contouring process is a crucial step. The most common form processing method is mechanical cutting, which utilizes equipment such as CNC milling machines and V-groove cutting machines to accurately cut the PCB according to the designed size and shape.
CNC Milling Machine
Precision Milling Path Planning
According to the PCB design drawing, with the help of CAD/CAM software. Professionals plan the milling path in detail and define the trajectory of the milling cutter for cutting, shuttling, and closing. Ensure precise cutting of PCBs of various shapes, whether conventional or shaped designs can be handled with ease.
Micron-level precision control
Hold PCBs firmly in place with powerful positioning and motion control systems. Manipulate the milling cutter in X, Y and Z axes to achieve micron-level precision movement. The PCBs produced have smooth edges and minimal dimensional deviation, meeting the assembly precision requirements of high-end electronic products.
V-groove Cutting Machine
Precise V-groove creation
High-speed rotary cutter with precision depth adjustment device. V-grooves of specific depth (approx. 1/3 – 1/2 of the board thickness) are cut on the PCB along a predetermined line, creating the conditions for subsequent non-destructive depaneling.
Efficient Depaneling Guarantee
In mass production of computer motherboards, industrial control boards, and other scenarios. Compared with traditional manual board breaking, V-groove cutting greatly improves the efficiency and quality of board separation. It ensures that the edges of small boards are neatly separated, avoiding circuit damage and facilitating large-scale production.
PCB Stamping Machine
Mold customization and adaptation
We design and manufacture special molds according to the specific requirements of PCB. Just like customized keys, they are precisely matched to meet the needs of different shapes, sizes, and hole layouts.
Efficient Stamping and Molding
When the press is activated, it uses strong mechanical pressure to instantly deform the PCB boards according to the contour of the mold. The required shape is stamped out at one time, which is used in the manufacturing of cell phones, tablet PCs, and other consumer electronics products. This ensures consistency in the shape of a large number of PCBs and shortens the production cycle.
These three types of equipment complement each other, from fine processing to efficient depaneling to rapid prototyping. They guarantee high quality and high efficiency of PCB shape processing in all aspects and promote the electronics manufacturing industry to move forward.
