Stress Free Singulating Systems for close tolerance singulating of PCB arrays. These systems feature unique floating die plates that eliminate time consuming die installation and expensive setup costs required for close tolerance registration. Die changes can be made in 30 seconds.

• Place the printed circuit board panel on tooling locator pins
• Let the press take over and it will depanel the array and present the PCB's to the operator in about 3 to 8 seconds with minimum stress, maximum stability, and superb accuracy matching that of Class A hard tooling
• After singulation, open the shuttle table and easily remove the PCB's

Typically, an operator will register the panel on tooling-hole pin locators on the lower die plate. Closing a cover will trigger the operation, shuttling the lower die plate on linear guide rails into the press. After depaneling takes place, the shuttle table automatically returns to the home position and the cover opens, allowing the operator to remove the singulated PCB's. The entire cycle, loading to unloading, can take as little as three to eight seconds.

The presses offered range from manually operated shuttle table models, to automatic shuttle table models. Systems can be our proprietary and simple Air-logic or Allen-Bradley SLC 5/04 Programmable Logic Microprocessors. Prices range from $9,500 to $59,990 depending upon the tonnage required (from 2 tons to 45 tons), dies sizes (up to 635 mm x 660 mm), and desired features.

Dies can safely singulate within ½ mm of ceramic components and fine trace lines with no stress or strain to adversely affect delicate PCB's, semiconductors or other delicate applications. Works equally well on skip-tab-routed or v-scored arrays. The secret is that the boards are simultaneously captured by knife-edged blades from the top and bottom, so all the forces are directed between the blade tips. The result is Stress Free Singulating.
