Low-Stress, High-Precision PCB Depaneling
The SDM223 is designed for fast, safe, and precise depaneling of pre-scored (V-groove) PCBs, delivering clean separations with minimal mechanical stress.
- Low-stress cutting: prevents microcracks and substrate damage
- 1 mm component clearance: ideal for high-density assemblies
- Clean separation: burr-free edges with no delamination
Its dual circular blade system ensures accurate, repeatable cuts while protecting populated boards—even with components placed close to the score line.
Dual-Blade System for Controlled Cutting
The SDM223 uses a precision dual-blade design to maintain alignment and consistent cutting depth throughout the depaneling process.
- Motorized lower blade: drives and cuts the PCB
- Free-rotating upper blade: follows the score line for accuracy
- Adjustable blade height: rotary knob with secure locking mechanism
- Guided alignment: extended lower guide for easy positioning
Once set, the system pulls the PCB through the blades, ensuring smooth, controlled separation and a consistent, damage-free edge.
Flexible Capacity and Speed Control
The SDM223 supports a wide range of PCB sizes and materials, making it suitable for both prototyping and production environments.
- Up to 400 mm (15.7") board length: handles common PCB sizes
- Up to 32 mm component height: accommodates tall components
- Adjustable speed: 0–350 mm/sec (13.8"/sec)
- Material flexibility: adapts to different PCB types and requirements
Adjustable cutting speed allows operators to match performance to material type and production needs.
Durable, Safe, and Low-Maintenance Design
The SDM223 is built for long-term reliability with a rugged construction and integrated safety features.
- Hardened tool steel blades: long-lasting cutting performance
- Safety shielding: protects operators during operation
- Robust frame: ensures stability and durability
- Low maintenance: minimizes downtime
Whether used for prototyping or production, the SDM223 delivers consistent performance with minimal upkeep.
