[0003] FPCOIL is a circuit board for coil motors. Traditional stencil cutting machines have an accuracy of ≥0.05mm, which cannot meet the cutting accuracy requirements of existing FPCOIL products. For high-precision products, existing equipment uses picosecond cutting machines with a production accuracy of ±0.03mm. When using picosecond cutting machines, the center of the product is hollowed out and cannot be effectively adsorbed on the machine's worktable, resulting in defects in the unadsorbed areas. The bending of the board due to the use of jigs leads to a processing defect rate of 2%.

[0004] It should be noted that the above description of the technical background is only for the purpose of providing a clear and complete explanation of the technical solutions of the present invention and facilitating understanding by those skilled in the art. It should not be assumed that the above technical solutions are known to those skilled in the art simply because they have been described in the background section of this invention.

[0008] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned improved processing method for picosecond cutting boards to prevent warping of FPCOIL products, the two ends of the vent hole are connected to the worktable and the circuit board.

[0009] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned improved processing method for picosecond cutting plate warping of FPCOIL products, each product is provided with 8 vent holes arranged in a ring array around its perimeter, and each vent hole has a diameter of 15mm.

[0010] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned improved processing method for picosecond cutting boards in FPCOIL products, the lower fixture is also provided with positioning pins at the four corners for positioning the circuit board, and the diameter of the positioning pins is 1.5mm.

[0011] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned method for improving the processing of picosecond cutting boards to prevent warping in FPCOIL products, the connection between the lower fixture and the upper fixture in the step "placing the circuit board into the lower fixture and then placing the upper fixture on the upper end of the lower fixture" is magnetic.

[0012] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned method for improving the processing of picosecond cutting boards to prevent warping in FPCOIL products, the adsorption pressure in the step "the worktable adsorbs the circuit board through the lower fixture" is above -7.5 kPa.

[0013] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned method for improving the processing of picosecond cut boards to prevent warping in FPCOIL products, in the step of "cutting the circuit board using a picosecond laser", the cutting power of the picosecond laser is 10W, the frequency is 1000KHz, the scanning speed is 1200 mm / s, and the cutting accuracy is ±30μm.

[0014] In summary, the structure adopted in the embodiments of the present invention has the following advantages: The present invention describes a method for improving the warping of FPCOIL products during picosecond laser cutting. This method employs a magnetic fixation mechanism using a lower and upper fixture to address the warping issue. The lower fixture is placed on the worktable, and the entire circuit board is placed inside it. Multiple 1.5mm diameter vent holes are created on the lower fixture. These vent holes facilitate effective adhesion of the circuit board to the worktable. The lower fixture effectively supports the product, improving the subsequent laser cutting accuracy. Each product has eight vent holes around its outer edge, which adhere to the product's perimeter, maintaining good adhesion. The system provides additional benefits without affecting the laser cutting process. The lower fixture has positioning pins at the four corners, allowing the entire circuit board to be hung on them.

The combined effect of the upper and lower fixtures improves product warping, reduces circuit board movement, lowers processing defects, and enhances dimensional accuracy in subsequent cutting processes. Cutting accuracy is improved from ±40μm to ±30μm, reducing the defect rate due to fixture use from 2% to 0%.

The laser carrier includes a lower fixture 2 and an upper fixture 3. A single circuit board contains multiple products 7 arranged in a rectangular array. Place the lower fixture 2 on the workbench; Place the circuit board 1 into the lower fixture 2, and then place the upper fixture 3 on the upper end of the lower fixture 2; The workbench surface adsorbs the circuit board 1 through the lower fixture 2, and the lower fixture 2 is provided with multiple exhaust holes 4; The circuit board 1 is cut using a picosecond laser.

[0022] Specifically, in this embodiment, the circuit board 1 includes a main circuit area and an edge area 5 disposed around the main circuit area. The main circuit area is provided with a plurality of products 7 arranged in a matrix, and the upper fixture 3 presses on the edge area 5.

[0023] Specifically, in this embodiment, the two ends of the exhaust hole 4 are connected to the workbench surface and the circuit board 1.

[0024] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 In this embodiment, each product 7 has eight vent holes 4 arranged in a circular array around its perimeter, each vent hole 4 having a diameter of 15 mm. The vent holes 4 adhere to the perimeter of the product 7, maintaining a good adhesion effect, while not affecting the laser cutting process of the product 7.

[0025] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, the lower fixture 2 is further provided with positioning pins 6 at the four corners for positioning the circuit board 1. The diameter of the positioning pins 6 is 1.5mm. One of the four positioning pins 6 is a foolproof pin. The edge area 5 of the circuit board 1 is provided with a foolproof hole. The circuit board 1 is mounted on the lower fixture 2 through the positioning pins 6. The foolproof hole passes through the positioning pin 6. The positioning pins 6 can prevent the product 7 from being laser-cut due to incorrect orientation.

[0026] Specifically, in this embodiment, in the step "placing the circuit board 1 into the lower fixture 2, and then placing the upper fixture 3 on top of the lower fixture 2", the connection between the lower fixture 2 and the upper fixture 3 is magnetic. This laser fixture is made of aluminum alloy, which is resistant to high temperatures and laser cutting. The upper fixture 3 and the lower fixture 2 are connected by magnetic attraction. The upper fixture 3 is a frame structure with a hollow center. The upper fixture 3 can press on the edge area 5 of the circuit board 1, which can improve the warping of the board.

[0027] Specifically, in this embodiment, in the step "the workbench surface adsorbs the circuit board 1 through the lower fixture 2", the adsorption pressure is above -7.5 kPa.
