What is PCB depanelization?

Separating a panel of printed circuit boards into single boards. On V-scored panels, a V-cut depaneling machine does it along the score, with no bending and the least stress on the parts near the edge.

Which PCB depaneling machine do I need?

Measure the longest V-score and the board thickness. The VPD3-1M cuts up to 290 mm (11.42″) and boards 0.6 to 1.9 mm (0.024″ to 0.075″); the VPD5-330 cuts up to 330 mm (12.99″) and boards 0.6 to 2.54 mm (0.024″ to 0.100″).

Is a depaneler the same as a PCB separator or V-score cutter?

Yes. Buyers call it a PCB separator, a V-score cutter or a depanelizer. All of them separate V-scored panels along the score.

Is a V-cut depaneler an alternative to a laser?

For V-scored FR4 panels, yes. It separates along the score with no heat, no fumes and no char on the edge, at a fraction of the cost of a laser system. A laser earns its place on tab-routed, flex or unscored panels, which a V-cut machine does not cut.

How long does a machine take to arrive?

In under 3 business days when it is in stock, and 2 to 4 weeks at most when it is not. It ships from the US, with freight quoted on your PO.

What about blades?

Blades and spares ship from US stock, typically in stock and 10 working days at most. The blade program reminds you before a dull edge reaches your boards.
