Redefining PCB Laser Depaneling

Stress-free and cost-effective depaneling of rigid and flexible printed circuit boards

Characterized by a compact outer design the CuttingMaster 2000 offers a range of different laser powers and wavelengths for a working area of up to 350 mm x 350 mm. The cost-effective system is capable to use LPKFs CleanCut technology which guarantees a maximum technical cleanliness of the cutting edges.

Information

The UV laser system is ideal for cutting flexible, rigid-flexible and rigid printed circuit boards. Users benefit from the advantages of laser technology: the cuts are precisely positioned, there is a high degree of design freedom, and the surrounding material remains free of mechanical stress. The systems of the LPKF CuttingMaster series are easy to operate thanks to the sophisticated, integrated software. In addition, the compact machines offer a convincing price comparable to that of mechanical cutting systems - without compromising quality, efficiency or flexibility.

Process advantages through the use of lasers

The laser process is fully software controlled. Changing materials or cutting contours are simply handled by adjusting the processing parameters and laser paths.
Laser cutting with the laser does not cause any significant mechanical or thermal stress. The ablation products are extracted directly at the cutting channel. In this way even sensitive substrates can be precisely processed.
The laser beam requires only a few µm as the cutting channel. In this way, more components can be placed on one panel.

Simple operation

The LPKF CuttingMaster 2000 series makes depaneling a simple job: The layout files are easily transferred to the machine at the click of a mouse - without lengthy changeover times or previous time-consuming tool production.
