Philosophy of Board Split-Systems

Printed Circuit Board Depanelling Machines

The design concept of Systemtechnik Hölzer GmbH Printed Circuit Board depanelling machines focuses on the core-process of PCB-singularization, the fixation and depanelling of the PCB-panel.

Both product-lines concentrate on what is essential to economically achieve high precision depanelling-results

in order to meet the customers` specifications and legal regularities, instead of advocating technological end-of-line gadgets.

Consequently, our philosophy promotes the stand-alone solution with different levels of customized automation, even though, based on the longstanding expertise of Systemtechnik Hölzer GmbH through their role as a forerunner in the field of depanelling-R&D, an in-line integration is available upon request.

A thorough and realistic analysis of the global markets draws one`s attention to the fact that the further pursuit of in-line depanelling solutions are increasingly characterized by decreasing marginal gains because

  • the front-end cycle-times can hardly be synchronized with the comparably speedy depanelling-process (only a small amount of bare-board substance needs to be triturated)
  • the acquisition of depanelling-machines in the upper price-segment causes a capital lock-up without adding value and puts a high calculatory strain on the single PCB-unit in terms of fixed-costs due to extremely staggering lot-sizes and variety of PCB layouts.

To underline both our differentiation from competition as well as the technical focus on the depanelling core-process, the new generation of Systemtechnik Hölzer GmbH machines has exclusively adopted the principle of topside-depanelling with the SMT mounting side being placed face downwards.  

Not before this technological determination, which entails decisive advantages with regards to the com-plete machine layout, had taken place, demanding customer specifications could be met in a more cost-efficient manner with low-invest automation.
