PCB MACHINING SOLUTIONS

Scoring cutters and blades for laminate cutting

Precision tools for scoring and cutting laminate, evaluated from machine compatibility, dimensions, material and required edge quality.

Explore the solutions

Selection starts with the process

Application

Material, stack, geometry and the required result define the starting point.

Tool and machine

Diameter, spindle, collet and operating conditions must be assessed together.

Quality objective

Hole, edge, dimensional tolerance and tool life guide the final choice.

Information for a technical assessment

  • PCB material and stack
  • Diameter, depth and geometry
  • Machine, spindle and collet
  • Speed, feed and production volume
  • Current defect or quality objective

From the build-up to the right tool

Enter layers, thickness, copper and material: the tool selector takes you to the MPK article to order and checks that the flute length covers your stack.

What is scoring in PCB production?

Scoring cuts a groove on both sides of the printed circuit board panel, along the lines that separate the individual boards. The material left in the middle holds the panel together during component assembly; after assembly the boards are separated along the groove, which gives each printed circuit board its outline.

Scoring or routing?

Scoring is often an alternative to routing the board outline: the groove runs in straight lines, while routing can follow any contour.

Accessories and spare parts

Drive rollers 15 mm or 22 mm thick, brushes for scoring cutters and connecting hoses are also available. Other spare parts are available on request.
