ASLS - Model 40 -Laser Scribing System
The Laser Scribing System (ASLS) is a high-precision laser cutting tool used in photovoltaic module manufacturing lines. Its purpose is to cut the deposited layers of the panels thus dividing them into individual solar cells. Continuously adjusted infrared and visible Nd:YAG lasers cut the silicon, metal and metal-oxide layers, while they move over the glass. A vacuum system removes any particles from the surface of the glass and from the air under it.
A completely automated machine – from the workpiece entry to its removal the entire process is software guided. A pair of production lines has a common triplet of such machines – to cut each of the module’s 3 layers. A 1064 nm infrared laser cuts the foremost, transparent tin-oxide refractive layer, while 532 nm green lasers cut the middle and the rearmost layers, the amorphous silicon active layer and the refractive/reflective zinc-oxide/aluminum layer. The only difference between the IR and the visible-range scribers is the laser source.
