Tab Board Cutters – Stress-Free Depaneling for Tab-Routed PCBs


Still manually snapping tab-routed PCBs apart?

Using pliers, blades, or hand breaking to separate tabbed boards often results in:

❌ Damaged components due to excessive stress.
❌ Jagged edges requiring additional finishing.
❌ Operator fatigue leading to inconsistent quality.

Our Tab Board Cutters eliminate these issues with:

Blade or pneumatic cutting solutions designed for tab-routed PCBs.
Custom fixtures to ensure clean, precise separation.
No PCB bending, flexing, or cracking—just perfect cuts every time.

If your manual depaneling process is slowing you down, how much time and rework could you save by switching to an automated system?

PCB Depaneling Equipment

Fancort offers the widest selection of depaneling machines for pre-scored and routed boards from any one company. Our machines varying in throughput, cost, and stress level. Fancort's North American sales and support team will always be there to help.

NTR-2 PCB Nibbler

NTR-2 PCB NIBBLER

The NTR-2 PCB Nibbler is a specialized manual depaneling tool designed to separate individual circuit boards from a panel or array without causing damage to the components. This tool uses a "nibbling" action to cut along scored or pre-routed lines, providing a simple and efficient way to depanel printed circuit boards (PCBs).

The NTR-2 is operated manually, making it suitable for low-volume or prototype PCB depaneling.Its cutting action minimizes mechanical stress on PCBs, reducing the risk of damage to sensitive components and solder joints. The tool is lightweight and portable, ideal for use at a workbench or in small production environments. Designed to work with pre-scored or perforated PCBs, providing clean and accurate cuts. A simple and affordable solution compared to automated depaneling systems.
