INTRODUCTION
DPF300 is a manual depaneling system designed to sol e
depaneling needs for small and medium production series. In these
applications a simple tool would entail excessi e labour but, at the
same time, the small amounts of product do not justify the use of
automatic depaneling systems that are much more expensi e.
Among the particular features of DPF300 are the possibility to
change the cutter quickly and the INTERCHANGEABLE GUIDE
designed and patented by
Piergiacomi
.
The
guide
assists the operator throughout the PCB positioning and
dragging phase and speeds up the process leading up to isthmus
(tab) cutting.
The special design of the INTERCHANGABLE GUIDE a oids damage
to the assembly in case of incorrect insertion, if the operator
cannot insert the guide perfectly into the slot; thanks to its special
shape, the assembly will be completely protected against
accidents, in full compliance with the current safety standards in
force.
Piergiacomi has designed and manufactured the new DPF300 to
o ercome any
st ess, b eak-off and tea ing
of PCB
fibres
; such
phenomena often occur when using common blades or hand tools
to separate the panels; as the complexity and miniaturisation of
the printed circuit boards increases, this type of tools are less and
less tolerated.
DPF300 cuts the isthmus with the p ecision of an automatic
machine but with much lower costs.
The electric extraction system of DPF300, placed directly on the
interchangeable guide, remo es all the dust produced by the
cutter, keeping the work area clean, in accordance with the
regulations in force.

6.1 OPERATIONAL PHASES
The sequence of figu es below indicates how to use the machine co ectly.
1. Place the PCB slot on the guide and insert the PCB into the slot until it rests on the guide.
2. Try to keep the PCB o thogonal to the guide (Fig.15-16). Slide the guide into the slot at an
adequate speed , in the direction shown by the arrow until reaching the first isthmus to be
remo ed.
3. Immediately after cutting the selected isthmus, remo e the PCB from the guide and repeat the steps
abo e. Or, if the next isthmus is ery close to the one already cut and there is no need to rotate/flip
the PCB, slide the guide inside the slot; please note that, in this case, the cutter might remo e
material from the walls of the slot if the board is not kept perfectly orthogonal to the guide.
N.B. Try to hold the PCB in place when cutting the last isthmus to make sure that it does not flip or rotate
due to its instability, creating excessi e residues.

7. ENVIROMENTAL IMPACT
The en ironmental impact of DPF-300 is minimal and has the following main characteristics:
Dust pollution:
the machine produces cutting dust that is collected by a special filter
pro ided with a special filter cartridge.
Oil pollution
: the machine does not use and, therefore, does not release oil
into the en ironment.
Noise pollution:
the machine is equipped with a motor spindle that may generate noise
up to 80 dB(A) during cutting, measured at the operator position. The
machine is equipped with a suction turbine that generates noise up to
70 dB(A), especially its rear side (that is equipped with a silencer),
measured at the operator position.
Heat pollution:
the machine features a suction turbine located inside the frame, which
generates hot exhaust air that comes out through the back of the
turbine (equipped with a silencer); also, the turbine surfaces are
subject to o erheating any may reach temperatures of up to 55°C.

9. MACHINE MAINTENANCE
Make su e that the system is disconnected f om the powe supply befo e ca ying
out any maintenance o adjustment wo k.
The machine is designed to allow easy maintenance; therefore, the electrical panel can be accessed from the
front of the machine, ia the protecti e casing that consists of a hinged door secured with the 3 screws
indicated by the arrows (Fig.17). The motor spindle mount can also be accessed by remo ing the protecti e
casing indicated in paragraph 9.3.
Remo e the 4 screws from the machine back casing to access the compartment that houses the motor, the
extraction system and the motor spindle compartment cooling fan.

9.1 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
DAILY:
- General machine cleaning:
- Check the le el of dust inside the filter and the clogging of the filter cartridge.
- Check the wear of the cutter.
- Check the wear of the interchangeable guide.
- Check the wear of the suction tube
N.B.: Do not clean the ESD workbench with alcohol-based detergents.
Do not use liquid detergents to clean the motor spindle
PERIODICALLY (e ery 20-30 days):
- Check the locking screws;
- Clean the rear exhaust silencer with compressed air.
- Clean the top of the motor spindle with compressed air by remo ing the aluminium head
that secures the guide in place (see Chap.5).
