Indium Tin Oxide Removal System
The FL600™ is a basic ITO removal system utilizing proprietary fiber laser technology by Laser Photonics. It performs direct imaging by laser beam for patterning of ITO coated glass and plastics offering flexible, immediate, CAD-friendly large area patterning without wet photolithographic processes.
Technology Description:
The FL600 is capable of direct fiber laser patterning on indium tin oxide (ITO), TCO, TO, anti-reflective coatings on glass and PET plastic film used in the FPD industry, automotive windshields and rearview mirrors, architectural windows, photovoltaic cells, solar panels, and semiconductor applications. Direct imaging by laser is a single-step, CAD-based, dry ablative process replacing photolithographic technology.
Main Features:
- Highest ITO removal speed in the industry on glass and plastic substrates at speeds up to 12 m/sec with up to 1000 characters per second.
- Laser Spot size 25 – 100 microns.
- Line width – 50 – 200 microns
- Individual Field size coverage– 220 x 270 mm.
- Maximum substrate size – fully scalable up to 550 x 650 glass panels
- Sintered metal vacuum hold down table with substrate hovering capabilities for securing all substrate sizes without table replacement or vacuum zone selection.
- Maximum stroke 600 x 700 mm.
- Unlimited component size
