Depaneling machines separate circuit boards by bending, pinching, punching, routing, sawing or shearing. Small circuit boards are often assembled several at a time as part of one big panel. This ...

Panelize to optimize: faster builds, better boards. In the printed circuit board manufacturing stage, panelization – physically linking many smaller, identical PCB substrates together on a common ...

Design-for-manufacturing (DFM) is a well known term and an essential part of the design process. Not as well known but just as important is the concept of design-for-assembly (DFA). Both the ...

Abiding by these rules of thumb can help shape decisions on how to approach printed-circuit-board manufacture, with the “PCB assembler” playing a vital role. Many engineers, especially those just ...

In Part 3 of our weeklong series about local manufacturing, WGLT visits a Bloomington company that serves both farms and the ...

Printed circuit boards (pcb) are a vital necessity for technology companies of all stripes. For most hardware tech companies, pcb suppliers ship quickly. What they don’t take into consideration is ...

Printed circuit boards are used in all disciplines, including motion-control applications. New CAD software helps designers create better schematics and layouts. The days of “electro” and “mechanical” ...
