While separating individual pcbs from a panel, operators have caused delamination of the edge of the board, at the tabs that were cut. How can these boards be repaired? The delamination causes them to fail J-STD-001C 9.2.1.1.d. Also, what would you recommend for cutting these boards apart? We are presently using standard diagonal cutters to cut the tabs that hold the boards together in a panel.

Ooooow!

�Can it be fixed?�

Good question. How BAD did you damage it? * Since you are asking this question, I am NOT inspired by the potential that you have the skills to fix the board. Go Jeff Ferry�s site at Circuit Repair Center [If you can�t find the site real quick with your browser, search the fine SMTnet Archives for links.] to get a better understanding of the requirements of this repair task. [CRC has work instructions for completing various repair tasks. Very neat thing.] * There are bunches of board repair service providers out there. [There may be a list in the fine SMTnet Archives, but I�m not positive. If not, say so.]

�What would you recommend for cutting these boards apart?�

A Husqvarna 382XP will do fine. �Husqvarna's professional range is developed in close co-operation with professionals all over the world and incorporates safe and labor saving design solutions. Powerful and with high torque, but still easy to handle and work with on long shifts. High power and superior ergonomics specifically designed for professional users. All Husqvarna professional chainsaws are reliable and tested and have inertia-activated chain brakes and LowVib vibration damping system.�

Haaaaa!!!

Cereally, the method used in exercising [hit the deck and give me fifty, Resin Breath (Oops. Fudge!!! I was going to be serious. Damn!!!) I just chugged a bag of Cheese-Its. I�ve got to get out of here and eat dinner.] boards from panels is largely dependant on the volume level of production. Designers of boards with �mouse bites� usually have not given the slightest consideration to depaneling. Search the fine SMTnet Archives for discussion on: * Routing * Singulation * Punching * Nibblers

Sure, the 'Cheese It' Defense is an analog of the 'BIG GULP of Dew' Defense.

I prefer to eat my crunchy Cheetos while drinking a cold Southpaw Light, at home.

My second choice is a Mountain Dew and Cheetos in the afternoon to get me through the rest of the day.

All y'all have a good holiday weekend.
