Drilling & routing machines for PCB fabrication perform precision hole drilling, routing, and profiling on printed circuit boards. They range from single-spindle CNC drills to multi-axis routers with automatic tool changers, handling vias, component holes, and board outline cuts. Buyers choose systems for spindle accuracy, repeatability, tool-change speed, and CAM compatibility to support prototype runs and high-volume production with tight tolerances.
Inspect spindle runout and hours, tool changer function, table flatness, drive and encoder condition, firmware/software versions, maintenance records, and ask for sample boards or a live test.
Key specs are minimum hole size, spindle RPM and power, number of axes, tool changer capacity, repeatability/accuracy, maximum board size, and CAM file compatibility.
Machines are crated and palletized, often shipped by flatbed or container. Vendors usually offer disassembly, secure packing, export paperwork, and heavy-equipment freight coordination.
Drain fluids, lock or brace moving axes, remove fragile tooling and bits, secure the gantry, tag cables, and document serial numbers. Use professional rigging for loading.
Daily cleaning, checking collets and tool holders, regular spindle lubrication or coolant checks, weekly belt/drive inspections, periodic calibration of axes, and software/firmware updates.
Keep spare collets, common drill/router bits, spindle bearings, vacuum pump parts, belts, fuses, and tool-holder components to minimize downtime.
