Product Briefing Outline: The new Spartanics Laser Cutting Applications Laboratory for Materials Research enables PV product manufacturers to determine if their materials can be handled by modern laser die-cutting technologies. The lab allows those seeking to use rapidly advancing laser die-cutting technology for finishing solar panels and other solar products to send samples for engineering studies and analyses for evaluation.

Problem: The explosion in new materials with different properties such as tensile strengths, toughness and resilience has been especially pronounced in the last decade.  During this same time period, laser die-cutting technology continues to evolve at a rapid pace largely due to more sophisticated software engineering. The speed of these developments are such that findings one might make today about whether a certain plastic, non-woven, or even nanomaterial can be adequately handled by digital die cutting is likely to have changed in just a few years. 

Solution: The Spartanics Laser Die Cutting Applications Laboratory for Materials Research provides no-cost detailed engineering analyses of maximum material thicknesses that can be handled with these different substrates, including brand name materials, correlated to laser power and other variables. 

Applications: A wide array of materials for laser-based production processes.

Platform: Spartanics specializes in tightly integrating advanced software engineering with sophisticated handling systems to manufacture best-in-class technology for both tool-free (laser-based), steel rule die, and male/female hard tool cutting systems, screen-printing systems and other equipment for fabricating products made from flat stock materials. 

Availability: Currently available.

    Photovoltaics International Lite, Volume 05 - 2011

    This digital interactive Lite sees Tom Cheyney follow Agua Caliente’s progress on becoming one of first truly utility-scale PV power farms, where 40–50MW (AC) will be commissioned by the end of the year. We also feature one of the world’s largest silicon thin-film PV power plants, Avenal; a report on warnings of the collapse of module prices from Solarbuzz and PI-Berlin presents tips on PV module testing. A print version of this edition will be distributed at Solar Power International 2011 in Dallas, Texas.
