SolarScribe Photovoltaic Panel Scribing System

· Split axis or gantry configurations to accommodate all PV/FPD scribing applications
· Choose from mechanical or air-bearing systems
· Direct-drive linear motor stages
· Travels to 2.5 m
· High dynamic system stiffness for best accuracy
· Industry-leading control system with real-time position-based laser firing output
· Options include single or multiple step-axis carriages, multiple Z-axis options, theta stage with integral brake, passive or active vibration isolation, machine base, control enclosure


The SolarScribe automation series is the most comprehensive photovoltaic panel scribing system available today. It includes both mechanical and air-bearing versions of split-axis and gantry-style systems for maximum application flexibility.

All design elements have been optimized to provide maximum throughput while maintaining tight control of geometric characteristics like dynamic straightness. In addition, because each customer and solar technology application has its own set of requirements, Aerotech has designed the SolarScribe system to include a multitude of options like multi-head scan axes, Z and theta correction axes, and machine base/isolation systems. All configurations put Aerotech's proven core technologies and extensive manufacturing capabilities to work for you, providing outstanding performance, versatility, and a quick return on your investment.

The SolarScribe is controlled by Aerotech's advanced Automation 3200 control system. The A3200 is a 100% digital system with high performance networked drives. The fully digital architecture makes it easy to optimize the current, velocity, and position servo loops for maximum performance. Advanced trajectory generation capabilities, such as multi-block look ahead, minimize dynamic errors while our Position Synchronized Laser Firing Output (PSO) functionality automatically adjusts the laser pulse frequency to match the current scribing speed, providing an additional throughput boost.

Aerotech also offers Motion Designer, an easy to use software GUI for generating or importing motion trajectories, and running and then evaluating the trajectory. These functions typically require hours of programming and debugging to implement. Motion Designer simplifies motion profile programming, saving high-level program development, while greatly enhancing your system's performance.

With over 35 years of motion control and positioning system experience, Aerotech has the knowledge and manufacturing skill to develop solutions for the most demanding applications, including off-the-shelf, custom, and vacuum-prepped products.
