Abstract—Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are circuits written on copper foil fixed to boards that are composed of electrically nonconductive glass fiber cloth and resin. Electrical products are becoming more miniaturized. As a result, drilling the PCBs has become increasingly difficult. Micro-drilling of PCBs is suitable for forming through holes. The drilling quality also affects the copper plating quality, which affects the reliability of the electrical connection. Thus, it is necessary to improve PCB drilling technology, develop drilling methods that increase productivity, and secure the reliability of the electrical connection. Many studies on the cutting force, temperature, and quality of drilled holes in PCB drilling have been conducted. Research on the cutting force in micro-drilling revealed that increasing the cutting force decreased the quality of the drilled holes and affected the breakage of microdrills. Currently, skilled engineers select the tools and drilling conditions, which is difficult for unskilled engineers. In micro-drilling, engineers must select drilling conditions such as the spindle speed and infeed rate. The system must support tool selection and drilling condition decisions based on open knowledge and data.
