PCB Microsection Inspection

  • Precision cutters are used to section boards near the area of interest without inducing the damage that may result from coarser techniques of sectioning. Any good process starts with a great cut. When speed and cut quality are both important, an abrasive machine is the right solution. Achieve high-quality cuts for any material.
  • Buehler offers Abrasive Cutters, Precision Cutters, and a variety of metallurgical blades.
  • Buehler also offers Acrylic systems – commonly used for automated preparation of PCBs. One primary advantage of the acrylics is the short cure time, around 10 minutes. High-quality epoxies such as EpoxiCure® or Epothin® are recommended when enhanced infiltration and edge retention are desired. When using epoxy a vacuum system like the SimpliVac can be used to increase infiltration levels.
