A depenalization router is a machine which uses a router bit to mill the material of the PCB. Routing requires that tabs are connected in a single panel, so it can mill the whole board. During the router process, much dust will be produced and an ESD-safe vacuum system is needed to clear them. The two most important parameters of the routing process are: feed rate and rotational speed. They are chosen according to the bit type and diameter and should remain proportional (i.e. increasing feed rate should be done together with increasing the rotational speed). Routers generate vibrations of the same frequency as their rotational speed, which might be important if there are vibration-sensitive components on the surface of the board. But its strain level is lower than other depaneling methods and is able to cut arcs and turn at sharp angles with lower cost. For more information, please contact a representative of EPCB.
