Low Cost Nibbler for Singulating Tab Routed Boards

Singulating tab routed printed circuit cards in low to medium volume production quantities is safe and easy with the N100 Nibbler from FKN Systek. Blades are available in standard thicknesses of .120 , .093 and .062 . Custom sizes to match the width of the routed section can be ground. Tabs are cut cleanly on each side so that no further clean up is required to remove excess material, as is often...

Tools for Singulating Tab Routed PCB Panels

Video of the N200 punch shows separation of round and odd shaped panels without dust. Tab routed PCBs come in many shapes and sizes. Choosing the right tool for singulating these types of panels means matching the panel type and production quantites to the capacity of the equipment. Now you can check out videos showing the different tools and how they operate, at fknsystek.com. See whether...
