Wire Stripping Laser Systems

During the stripping process, dual lasers strip both sides of the wire simultaneously—eliminating wire movement and reducing strand variance. The insulating material absorbs the laser’s wavelength but is reflected by the metal—causing no damage to the conductive strand. Insulation is removed down to 0.001-inch tolerances. 

The galvo-directed laser beams move in any direction—enabling complex stripping options. Our versatile transport systems handle wire and cable gauges from 6 to 26, and can produce 200-foot lengths with less than 0.1-inch variance.

Our systems process most wire and cable types: round, twisted pair, flat, shielded, ribbon, coaxial and multi-conductor.

Lasers can also be used to strip thin polymer coatings on copper and aluminum (magnet) wires through an ablation process.

Our systems safely handle most insulating materials, including:

The Advantages of Laser Markers

Wire marks typically combine manufacturing information with product identification—though some additional marks may be required. The ideal marking method can adapt to product changes, leaves permanent marks and includes no inks, masks or other consumables.

Laser wire marking meets these requirements and is now the gold standard for wire manufacturers around the world. These marks can’t be scraped or rubbed off. They also share the same properties as the insulation—allowing them to withstand the same temperatures and flexing levels as unmarked wire.
