New Lenz machine installations
Technic are pleased to announce the recent installation of a new multi-spindle Lenz Drill routing machine at Garner Osborne in Newbury. As well as the new Lenz Drill routing solution Garner osborne has taken delivery of a new Lenz SLG Free-From Scoring machine for trials. Another new Lenz routing machine is being installed in Cambridge Circuits at the beginning of July.
The SLG Scoring machine from Lenz has been developed to meet customers requirement.
Flexible scoring of PCB
To manufacture electronic assemblies more economically, smaller PCBs can be arranged on a larger panel and split afterwards. There are various solutions to do this, one method to "V-Score" the whole panel and then break the smaller PCBs out after they are populated, assembled and tested. Lenz has developed a new V-Scoring machine solution for this process the SLG. The outstanding feature of the SLG is the huge flexibility; as opposed to the standard V-scoring machines, it is possible with the Lenz SLG to score any two dimensional geometrical shape including diagonals or rounded corners. It is also possible to score in both the X- and Y-direction without turning the board manually.
Vertical Operation
The design of the SLG to allow the vertical positioning of the boards was developed to enable scoring even with thin materials. Another positive of the vertical operation is the optimized debris extraction by the vacuum. The compact machine dimensions allows ease of use and loading enclosed within a small footprint.
Pneumatically clamping system
The panels are located in pins and clamped pneumatically. Even thin PCB´s can be scored perfectly because of the vertical positioning. An optional frame to clamp the boards all around supports Flex materials without any problems.
