Phoenix, Arizona USA, March 9, 2004 - TLC International formally introduced its third-generation Gen-3 TLC Phoenix-600® glass cutting machine today. The Gen-3 machine utilizes the latest upgraded TLC software to permit nesting of circular parts (in addition to the nesting of curvilinear parts instituted with the previous generation), and to implement substrate auto-sizing and substrate auto-placement. The constant movement of the microelectronics industry toward smaller, thinner, and lighter glass substrates for displays and other products has long presented a problem for the glass-cutting industry, which was generally limited to cutting 0.30 mm thick substrates. Thinner substrates produced very poor yields and high production costs. See the full story at www.SID.org for more details.
