L-730: An Electrifying Solution to a Photovoltaic Challenge

Hamar Laser’s L-730 Precision Leveling Laser is an amazing precision leveling tool. In just a short time after we got it, the laser quickly became an invaluable part of our design process.

NEXT Energy Technologies is the world’s first transparent solar glass company, a pioneer in organic photovoltaic (OPV) technology for the commercial real estate and construction market. Using automated slot-die coating manufacturing techniques, we make photovoltaic coatings that are applied to the glass of windows in commercial buildings and convert those windows to energy-producing solar panels.

The propriety machines we are developing to make glass panels are complex and sensitive, and high accuracy is non-negotiable. This makes aligning the panels tricky, to say the least. Before finding the L-730 laser system, we had tried several solutions but simply could not get things leveled out to our satisfaction. Hamar’s L-730 is far superior to these other tools and lets us level quickly, accurately and with high confidence. I’m honestly not sure what we would have done without this fantastic tool.

We had been looking around online for leveling lasers and really liked what we saw on the Hamar Laser website. Rod Hamar was very enthusiastic about helping us. He explained how to use the new laser and get familiar with its many capabilities. Our cutting-edge OPV coating application is truly unique, but Rod clearly likes helping customers solve these kinds of alignment challenges.

It was great to have Rod work so closely with us. Hamar Laser is not like some of the larger companies that aren’t interested in smaller customers. We’re still a relatively new company and it’s extremely helpful to get this high level of personal attention from an important supplier.

We have all been very impressed with the L-730 alignment system and Hamar Laser’s extremely attentive service. If you’re faced with a tricky alignment problem, Rod Hamar and his team of laser alignment experts will get things straightened out for you!
