Stand-alone laser SAL-1300

Innovative speedLAS® technology for precise and efficient depaneling
With speedLAS® technology, the laser is controlled by a special scanner so that its movements overlap with those of the axes. This innovative method ensures that the laser is always aligned at the optimal angle to the workpiece, resulting in precise and straight cuts. The use of this technology not only enables aesthetically pleasing cutting quality but also leads to processing speeds up to 80% faster than previous laser applications. In addition, the energy input in the edge area is optimized, further increasing the efficiency and quality of the cutting process.
  • Up to 80% faster laser cutting processes than conventional applications
  • Cutting results up to complete freedom from carbonization
  • Optimized energy input

Lasers with different wavelengths for a wide range of materials

When lasering, the focus is on adapting the wavelength to the material being processed. The SAL enables the use of different wavelengths to ensure the best possible laser for the material. The flexible scanner size enables precise processing in various applications.

We rely on comprehensive process support, which is carried out in close cooperation with Dr. Bohrer Lasertec GmbH. A detailed and precise analysis of the material creates the basis for selecting the best possible laser for your requirements.

The material is separated using different laser sources, then analyzed using a suitable microscope (e.g., a scanning electron microscope) and evaluated under optimal conditions. Various degrees of carbonization and separation quality levels can be offered.

Advantages of laser depaneling:

High cutting quality

The laser's fine beam ensures precise, high-quality material processing. Furthermore, avoiding material fusion at the cutting edge prevents fraying, ensuring a smooth component edge.

With the Medical Grade Cut, SCHUNK sets new standards in the highest quality of material processing. This cut is completely free of carbonization and ensures unparalleled purity and precision. Due to these outstanding properties, the Medical Grade Cut is particularly suitable for demanding applications in medical technology where the highest levels of cleanliness and precision are essential.

High speeds

SCHUNK's speedLAS technology revolutionizes the cutting process through the innovative combination of the laser beam with axis movements using a scanner. This advanced process enables exceptionally high cutting speeds without sacrificing precision.
This ensures efficient, high-quality material processing, making speedLAS the ideal solution for modern manufacturing requirements.

Free from stress

Unlike mechanical methods, the non-contact process for separating the printed circuit boards from the panel avoids any transfer of mechanical stress to the material.
This fully preserves the integrity of sensitive components and prevents potential damage.

Dust-free cutting

Mechanical processes, such as milling, generate dust particles during the manufacturing process. In laser processing, however, the material is vaporized, and the resulting fumes are efficiently removed by an extraction system.
This reliably prevents potential malfunctions caused by deposited dust particles.

Variety of materials

Laser depaneling allows various base materials to be processed effortlessly by adjusting the process parameters, without the need for additional tools or special systems. The development of new applications, such as those in the high-frequency range, requires special materials that must be precisely tailored to individual requirements.
Such sensitive and demanding materials are only partially processable using traditional mechanical methods. In these application areas, laser depaneling proves to be the optimal solution.

Maximum design freedom

In contrast to mechanical processes, laser depaneling offers virtually unlimited design freedom for PCBs. Thanks to the flexible line guidance and the fine diameter of the laser beam, even very fine and complex structures can be effortlessly realized.
The precise laser also makes it possible to minimize the distances between the cut edges and the components and maximize the maximum permissible assembly height. Consideration of minimum radii or land widths, as required, for example, with milling, is completely eliminated.

Minimizing wear and tear

Laser systems are wear-free, meaning tools such as milling heads or saw blades don't need to be replaced.
This eliminates additional user intervention and the associated costs. Furthermore, the elimination of wear parts ensures consistently high quality over a long period of time.
