What is a PCB Cutting Machine

An SMT splitter is a device specifically used for cutting circuit boards. It is designed for the segmentation of SMT PCB boards to achieve precise cutting of circuit boards. It has multiple functions designed to improve the accuracy and efficiency of circuit board segmentation.

How many types of SMT PCB Cutting Machines are there?

There are mainly the following types of SMT PCB Cutting Machines:

1. Simple desktop milling cutter splitter: This splitter is suitable for small batch production, with a small cutting size, suitable for placement on the desktop, simple operation, and suitable for users with low budgets.

2. Single-table milling cutter splitter: This splitter has a larger cutting size and is suitable for medium batch production. The equipment occupies a small area and the configuration varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.

3. Online milling cutter splitter: Suitable for SMT whole line equipment production, it can realize automated production without manual intervention and improve production efficiency.

4. Jigless milling cutter splitter: This splitter does not require customized jigs, and uses a fixture to fix the PCB board for cutting, which is easy to operate1.

5. Milling cutter + knife board splitter: suitable for circuit boards that need to perform V-cutting and stamp hole processes at the same time, with two functions in one to improve production efficiency.

In addition, according to the different cutting methods and structures, SMT PCB Cutting Machine can also be divided into the following categories:

1. Laser board splitter: using laser cutting, it has the advantages of high precision, high efficiency, and no pollution, and is suitable for production with high precision requirements2.

2. Mechanical board splitter: The cutting speed is fast and suitable for mass production, but the precision is low2.

3. Plasma board splitter: using plasma cutting, the cutting surface is flat, and it is suitable for production environments that require low heat2.

4. CNC board splitter: the movement of the cutting tool is controlled by the CNC system, which is suitable for complex curve cutting, with high precision and efficiency2.

These different types of SMT PCB Cutting Machine have their own characteristics and are suitable for different production needs and environments. Users can choose the appropriate board splitter according to their specific needs.

The main function of the PCB Cutting Machine

The main function of the board splitter is to accurately and effectively cut large-area circuit boards into small pieces to achieve the division of circuit boards. 1

The depaneling machine achieves this function through different cutting methods, including blade cutting, saw blade cutting, laser cutting, etc. These cutting methods are suitable for different types of circuit boards and requirements to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the division.

The types of depaneling machines include knife-type depaneling machines, punch-type depaneling machines, milling cutter-type depaneling machines and laser depaneling machines. Each depaneling machine has its advantages and disadvantages. For example, the knife-type depaneling machine has a low cost but can only perform straight-line depaneling, the punch-type depaneling machine is fast but has stress, the milling cutter-type depaneling machine can depanel in any shape but has a high cost, and the laser depaneling machine is stress-free but expensive.

How to maintain the SMT PCB Cutting Machine

The following core matters need to be paid attention to when using the SMT PCB Cutting Machine:

1. Safe operation: When using the SMT depaneling machine, the safety of the operator must be ensured. The distance between the upper and lower cutters should be checked before operation. It is strictly forbidden to put your hand into the machine to avoid accidents. When the machine is running, do not remove the protective plate around the blade 12.

2. Correctly place the PCB board: Place the PCB board separation slot on the fixed tool holder and move the PCB board separator horizontally. Ensure that the PCB board is placed stably to avoid bending deformation or damage to the electrical circuit during the board separation process12.

3. Daily maintenance: Clean and maintain the equipment regularly to maintain the accuracy and service life of the equipment. Use alcohol to wipe the machine spindle and tool, check whether the screws are loose, and oil the slide rod and bearing23.

4. Electrostatic protection: Electrostatic protection must be performed during operation, and the operator must wear an electrostatic ring to prevent static electricity from damaging the PCB board23.

5. Equipment maintenance: If the board splitter is abnormal and needs maintenance, first make sure that the power cord has been unplugged from the socket to avoid the risk of electric shock
