Pneumatic PCB Depaneling for FR4, Aluminum, and Thick Substrates

Back

Pneumatic depaneling for low-stress separation of aluminum and high-density PCBs.

The SDM313 Pneumatic Depaneler is built for medium- to high-volume production, delivering clean, burr-free cuts with a safe, foot switch–activated process.

Aluminum PCB capable: handles rigid and specialty substrates
Low-stress rocking motion: reduces risk of board and component damage
0.5 mm component clearance: ideal for high-density assemblies
Up to 20 mm component height: accommodates taller parts near the score line
Adjustable blade gap: supports a range of PCB thicknesses

With wedge-shaped blades and a controlled rocking separation process, the SDM313 minimizes mechanical stress—ensuring reliable results even on thin boards and sensitive assemblies.

The SDM313 cleanly separates metal-core PCBs—including LED boards—as well as ultra-thin and flexible substrates down to 0.5 mm, without damaging components located just 0.5 mm from the score line.

Handles metal-core PCBs: ideal for LED applications
Ultra-thin capability: processes boards down to 0.5 mm thick
0.5 mm component clearance: supports high-density designs
Low-stress linear blades: fast, precise, and damage-free separation
Top-mounted adjustment knob: quick and easy alignment
Max 4 mm blade gap: enhanced operator safety

This combination of precision cutting and low-stress operation ensures consistent, high-quality results across a wide range of PCB materials and applications.
