As electronics continue to shrink in size and the global surface-mount technology (SMT) industry evolves, maintaining a clean, high-quality PCBA at the end of the manufacturing process is more critical than ever. The depaneling process—often overlooked—plays a key role in reducing defects such as chip cracks and ensuring the integrity of the final product. This session will provide attendees with valuable insights into common defects, as well as practical methods for improving depaneling processes to minimize production issues.

During the webinar, attendees will also learn about Seika Machinery’s Sayaka PCB Routers, which are known for their precision and efficiency in depaneling. These routers are designed to ensure smooth cuts with minimal stress on delicate components, making them an ideal solution for high-reliability applications. Sayaka routers feature advanced cutting technology that reduces vibration, helping to eliminate risks of damage during production while improving product quality and consistency.

“Our goal with this webinar is to highlight the importance of selecting the right depaneling method to avoid common production issues and improve product reliability,” said Michelle Ogihara, Executive Vice President at Seika Machinery. “With the right equipment and techniques, manufacturers can ensure a smooth end-to-end SMT process.”

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from industry experts and discover new strategies to optimize your depaneling process.
