520N Motorized PCB Depaneler

520N Motorized PCB Depaneler

Precision PCB depaneling for clean cuts and reduced board stress.

The 520N PCB Depaneler delivers accurate, low-stress separation of pre-scored and V-groove PCBs with a durable, low-maintenance design suitable for small-batch to medium-volume production.

  • Clean, precise cuts: minimizes stress to prevent microcracks and delamination
  • Open-tunnel design: supports boards of virtually unlimited length
  • High component clearance: handles components up to 35 mm (1.4") tall
  • Close-to-score capability: components as close as 2 mm from the score line
  • Material versatility: compatible with most PCB types (excluding aluminum)

Designed for consistent, damage-free depaneling, the 520N ensures reliable performance across a wide range of PCB assemblies.

Low-Stress, High-Precision Depaneling

The 520N is engineered to deliver smooth, repeatable depaneling while protecting PCB and component integrity.

  • Stable panel support: prevents wobble and shifting during operation
  • Clean separation: consistent results on sensitive and irregular boards
  • Open-tunnel design: accommodates tall components and simplifies feeding

Panels remain fully stabilized throughout the process, ensuring clean, accurate separation—even on assemblies with delicate components.

Twin-Blade Cutting System for Reduced Stress

The 520N uses a precision twin-blade system to ensure controlled, low-stress PCB separation.

  • Motorized upper blade: performs the cutting action
  • Supportive lower blade: guides the PCB along the score line
  • Controlled motion: minimizes mechanical stress during separation
  • Damage prevention: reduces risk of microcracks and delamination

This controlled cutting process eliminates common issues seen with manual depaneling, such as cracked solder joints and substrate damage.

Flexible Handling and Material Compatibility

The 520N supports a wide range of PCB designs and production requirements.

  • Unlimited board length: open design for continuous processing
  • Broad material compatibility: supports most PCB types (excluding aluminum)
  • Handles complex assemblies: ideal for varied layouts and designs

This flexibility allows manufacturers to process a wide variety of boards without reconfiguration or limitations.

Durable, Low-Maintenance Operation

The 520N is built for long-term reliability with minimal operator effort.

  • Heavy-duty construction: ensures stability and durability
  • Tool-less setup: quick and easy adjustments
  • Low maintenance: reduces downtime and service needs

Designed for consistent, dependable performance, the 520N helps increase throughput while maintaining high board quality.
