Comprehensive & Innovative Product Line

Seprays offers one of the industry’s most complete PCB depaneling solution portfolios, catering to diverse needs from basic to advanced:

Router Depaneling Machine Series: The core product line utilizes a proprietary high-precision motion control system, achieving cutting accuracy of ±0.05mm and repeatability of ±0.01mm. The 2023-launched GAM386 model features patented bottom-cutting technology, specifically designed for depaneling ultra-thin boards (thickness < 0.4mm) and boards with high-density components, effectively solving issues like warping and component damage common with traditional methods.

Laser Depaneling Machine Series: Provides contactless cutting solutions for flexible circuit boards (FPCBs) and precision components. Seprays’ ZAM series employs UV laser technology with a minimum spot diameter of 15μm, enabling truly stress-free cutting—ideal for high-end applications like wearables and medical implant devices.

Automated Integration Solutions: A key strength is providing complete production line solutions, including auto loaders, fully automatic depaneling machines, unloaders/sorters, and intelligent AGV transport systems. These enable a complete unmanned workflow from “board feeding -> cutting -> sorting -> stacking,” significantly boosting production efficiency.

　　Industry-Leading Technological Innovation

Seprays invests over 8% of its annual revenue into R&D, maintains a professional R&D team of over 60 engineers, and holds 47 patents in PCB depaneling. Key technological advantages include:

Cutting Precision Control: The proprietary “Real-time Vibration Compensation System” automatically detects and compensates for micro-vibrations during operation, ensuring long-term stability. This system maintains precision deviation within 0.02mm even after 24 hours of continuous operation.

Depaneling Stress Management: The “Multi-parameter Adaptive Cutting System” monitors cutting resistance, spindle load, and material characteristics in real-time, dynamically adjusting parameters to reduce depaneling stress to less than 60% of the industry average.

Smart Integration: Seprays equipment fully supports MES system connectivity, offering rich data interfaces for advanced functions like equipment status monitoring, production data tracing, and preventive maintenance alerts.

　　Proven Seprays Applications Across Industries

Consumer Electronics

A leading international smartphone manufacturer used the Seprays GAM386 router to depanel mainboards for its latest model. This increased the depaneling yield from 92.7% to 99.9%, saving the company approximately $500,000 annually. The machine’s high-speed cutting capability (up to 300mm/s) also increased line efficiency by 35%.

Automotive Electronics

A European automotive electronics supplier integrated a Seprays laser depaneling machine into its brake control module line to meet the industry’s strict reliability standards. The stress-free cutting ensured long-term PCB reliability, passing 1000-hour high-temperature/high-humidity tests and 50g mechanical shock tests. The machine’s sealed design also effectively contained cutting dust, meeting cleanroom requirements.

Medical Devices

A medical device manufacturer uses Seprays machines to depanel circuit boards for pacemakers. The ultra-high precision cutting (±0.015mm) and fully enclosed, dust-free environment meet the extreme reliability and cleanliness demands of medical electronics. The machine’s batch traceability function also aids compliance with stringent medical industry regulations.

Industrial Control

An industrial automation company implemented a complete Seprays automated depaneling line, transforming a process that required 3 operators into a fully automated operation. This reduced labor costs by 70% and improved the production cycle time from 45 seconds to 28 seconds per panel.
