Laser wire stripping uses the laser to cut around and optionally down the length of the insulating materials which cover the metal conductors of the wire. This wire stripping process allows the insulation to subsequently be pulled off very easily at a later time. Laser wire stripping is the most precise and reliable stripping method available today. It uses a non-contact method that eliminates the risk of damage to the conductor or shield. By using the proper laser type for a particular wire, the insulation will absorb the beam and be vaporized, whereas the metallic materials of the underlying wire conductor will reflect, like a mirror, the laser beam and will not be damaged
Our laser wire system can process stripping lengths from 0 up to 4 inches on various types of insulation materials, such as enameled coatings, epoxy, ETFE, fiberglass, Formvar, Kapton, Kynar, Milene, Mylar, nylon, silicone, polyester, polyesterimide, polyethylene, polyimide, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride, silicone and Teflon.
Our stripper can remove insulation from many types of wire and cable including single-core wire; twin leads; shielded twisted pairs; multiconductor cables; shielded and screened wire and cable; ribbon cable; coaxial cable; and complex 2D- and 3D-shaped conductors, such as coils. In addition, a wide range of wire sizes can be processed without requiring tool changes and wire sizes can range from less than 0.001 inch OD (50 AWG) to 1 inch OD. Ribbon and flat cable can be up to 11.4 inches wide.
Other stripping features of the laser wire system include a variety of wire stripping modes to allow slugs to remain on the wire strands, mid-wire (windowing) laser strip capabilities, on-the-fly stripping options, and excellent precision with a strip length accuracies within +/- 0.30 inches.
With this innovative technology there are no disposal issues of hazardous chemicals, no costly blades to replace or sharpen at regular intervals and no high electrical currents to contend with. Laser wire stripping provides outstanding levels of quality, reliability and productivity in addition to meeting the high standards for conductor damage set by NASA and the Federal Aviation Administration.
