Routing Fixtures (Depanelization)

Routing Fixtures (Depanelization) are custom-engineered to securely support PCB assemblies throughout the routing process, ensuring clean, accurate board separation while protecting sensitive components. Precision-machined to match the exact PCB profile, each fixture minimizes movement, flex, and vibration in the X, Y, and Z axes to reduce mechanical stress during cutting.

Compatible with both manual and automated routing systems, these durable fixtures improve cut quality, reduce scrap, simplify setup, and deliver consistent, repeatable depanelization performance for prototype, NPI, and high-volume manufacturing environments.
