Every printed circuit board is distinguished by its specific shape. Shaping is done towards the end of the circuit board manufacturing. It involves either routing or V scoring or the combination of both. Many times, machining is performed to conduct cut-outs and apertures in the printed circuit board before the final assembly.
Profiling is performed to cut a PCB out of the production panel. We use a computer-managed router to create internal cutouts on the production panel. The cutter follows a pre-defined path. In the next stage, the milling machine head fitted with a suitable cutter is run through the production panel. The machine head is fitted with a vacuum controlled brush that removes the small particles produced during profiling. The circuits formed on the production panel are separated by small material bridges. Drilling is performed to separate the PCB and the production panel.
The following PCB profiling capabilities have helped us serve our clients better:
| Punch Tolerance | ±5 Mil |
| CNC Tolerance | ±5 Mil |
| V-CUT Tol | ±10 Mil |
| Bevel Edges | ±5 Mil |
| Slot Min | 32 Mil |
| Angle | 15°, 20°, 30°, 45°, 60° |
At Twisted Traces, we allow clients to decide the shape of their PCB. The shape of their PCB is one of the factors, which adds up to the final costs. Rectangle is the most effective shape because it can be fitted on a production panel and yields maximum utilization. We get maximum orders for rectangular PCBs.
Our in-depth understanding of cost-effective PCB shapes and their capabilities in specific applications allow us cater to a wide range of clients. We, at Twisted Traces, are committed to offering quality PCB products at cost-effective services. Also, we are well-known for our fast turnaround times in the industry. No matter, how simple or complex your PCB board is, we can assure precision and short lead times. Twisted Traces is a one-stop shop for PCB manufacturing. We provide a comprehensive range of PCB fabrication services from PCB design/layout to machining and profiling.
