Die-cutting as a transformation technique for electronics assembly

What is die cutting? Why is it essential in the electronics assembly process?

Piece cutting is a material processing technique that enables flexible materials such as insulating films, adhesives and protective screens to be cut precisely. This method is widely used in the electronics industry for the manufacture of custom components, particularly for electrical insulation, thermal management, protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and component assembly . 

Accuracy and reproducibility

One of the main advantages of piece cutting is its extreme precision. Electronic components require protection and insulation solutions with very tight tolerances. Thanks to advanced technologies such as flatbed or rotary cutting, it is possible to obtain parts that meet the requirements of high-volume production with perfect repeatability.

Versatility of materials

Piece cutting allows you to work with a wide variety of materials. technical materialsadapted to the needs of the electronics industry:

  • Electrical insulating films (e.g. Nomex, Kapton) to protect printed circuit boards (PCBs)
  • Conductive and insulating adhesives for mounting and assembling components
  • Thermal management materials to dissipate heat from sensitive components
  • EMI/RFI shielding foils to reduce electromagnetic interference

Optimising costs and reducing waste

Using customised cutting tools for the part of your choice allows you to optimise the use of raw materials and reduce waste thanks to advanced nesting solutions (= intelligently arranging the shapes to be cut on the sheet or roll of material, thus reducing off-cuts and improving production profitability). 

In addition, this technology offers a high production rate, making it a cost-effective solution for large production runs.

Speed of execution and reliability

Unlike other cutting methods such as laser or waterjet, piece cutting is a very fast technique that allows large volumes to be produced in a minimum of time. 

 

Part cutting is an essential solution for your electronic assembly needs, offering precision, speed and cost reduction. Whether for electrical insulation, thermal management or protection against interference, this technique enables you to meet the sector's quality and performance requirements.
