Seika Announces Inventory Sale on Stock SAYAKA PCB Routers
June 1, 2022 | Seika Machinery, Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Seika Machinery, Inc., a leading provider of advanced machinery, materials and engineering services is pleased to announce an inventory sale on stock SAYAKA PCB routers, including the SAM-CT23Q, SAM-CT23S, SAM-CT35Q, SAM-CT23NJ and SAM-CT56NJ. Additionally, the SAM-CT34XJ PCB Router is now available for demonstration at Seika’s Headquarters and Demonstration Center in Torrance.
The SAM-CT34XJ standalone works as an in-line and off-line router. It features a slide table for fast and easy loading/unloading of PCBs, repeatability ±0.01mm and low maintenance. The color CCD camera makes it easy to program, along with an automatic QR code reading and uploading program. The SAM-CT34XJ offers broken/slip bit detection and extended bit life with automatic bit position control.
There is no better way to depanel a printed circuit board than with the SAYAKA PCB Depaneling Router. This PCB depaneler is the answer for hassle-free PCB depaneling through the employment of a router bit that minimizes stress on components. The high-speed spindle included in the machine speeds up cutting and maintains precision, while also allowing for flexible panel designs with various cutting patterns.
Additionally, the SAM-CT34XJ PCB Router cuts down on bit replacement with its router bit depth adjustment system, which automatically shifts up to five depth levels. The PCB router bit maximum cutting speed is 50mm per second, while the traveling speed is a maximum of 800mm per second. With a built-in fixture-based dust vacuum system, the system is sure to be clean and efficient. This prevents warping, and takes full advantage of vacuum strength for the most effective dust collection.

Smart Automation: Odd-form Assembly—Dedicated Insertion Equipment Matters
09/09/2025 | Josh Casper -- Column: Smart AutomationLarge, irregular, or mechanically unique parts, often referred to as odd-form components, have never truly disappeared from electronics manufacturing. While many in the industry have been pursuing miniaturization, faster placement speeds, and higher-density PCBs, certain market sectors are moving in the opposite direction.
Machvision Leads Shift to Automated Inline Final Inspection, AOI in North America
09/10/2025 | Ralph Jacobo, all4-PCBSchweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) chose Machvision inspection equipment due to its capabilities and versatility. Machvision of Taiwan offers circuit inspection, hole inspection and measurement, IC Substrate and HDI inspection, and final visual inspection solutions. The best fit for SEL was the 4.0Pro Circuit Inspection for inner and outer layers, and the AFI6 for final visual inspection of finished panels.
Closing the Loop on PCB Etching Waste
09/09/2025 | Shawn Stone, IECAs the PCB industry continues its push toward greener, more cost-efficient operations, Sigma Engineering’s Mecer System offers a comprehensive solution to two of the industry’s most persistent pain points: etchant consumption and rinse water waste. Designed as a modular, fully automated platform, the Mecer System regenerates spent copper etchants—both alkaline and acidic—and simultaneously recycles rinse water, transforming a traditionally linear chemical process into a closed-loop system.
