Rofin has released its PowerLine SL PV series, specifically developed for use within the automation and production systems used by the photovoltaics industry.
Typical applications for this laser include scribing TCO/ITO/AZO layers on flexible substrates. The PowerLine SL PV is available in 1,064nm and 532nm wavelengths and its compact size means that it is ideally suited to machine integration where one laser per scribe head is required. For applications where beam splitting is appropriate, the higher output power of the PowerLine E series laser will support two or four scribing heads from the single laser source.
