What Does a Successful Laser Strip Look Like?

The result varies by requirement and application. During process development, strip quality is assessed against criteria including conductor integrity, residue, strip length, insulation edge quality and downstream termination requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can laser stripping damage the conductor?

When the correct laser wavelength and process parameters are used, laser stripping can remove insulation without mechanical contact with the conductor. The laser process is selected so that the insulation absorbs the laser energy while the underlying conductor is minimally affected. With Laser Wire Solutions, each application is developed and assessed to confirm the required strip quality before moving into production.

Which laser is best for my wire insulation?

The most suitable laser depends on the insulation material, wire construction, conductor material, strip geometry and production requirements. LWS uses CO₂, UV, fibre and femtosecond laser technologies, allowing the process to be matched to the material rather than relying on a single laser type. Our applications team can evaluate your wire and recommend the most appropriate technology.

Can different layers of the same cable be selectively removed?

Yes. Laser processing can be used to selectively remove individual layers within multi-layer wire and cable constructions, including insulation, coatings, foils and shields. Different laser wavelengths and process parameters can be used to target specific materials while preserving the layers beneath them.

Can fluoropolymers be laser stripped?

Yes. Fluoropolymer materials can be laser processed, although the most appropriate technology depends on the specific polymer, thickness and component construction. For applications requiring highly controlled material removal with minimal thermal impact, LWS can use femtosecond laser processing with the Axiom Series for precision fluoropolymer ablation.

How small a wire can LWS process?

LWS has experience processing extremely fine wires, including wires as small as approximately 0.015 mm (60 AWG). The achievable result depends on the conductor, insulation material, wire construction and required strip geometry, so very fine-wire applications are typically evaluated through process development.

Can LWS develop the process before we purchase equipment?

Yes. You do not need to select a laser system before speaking to LWS. Our applications team can first evaluate your wire, material and required result, develop the laser process and determine the most appropriate technology. Once feasibility has been established, we can recommend the most suitable route into production, and the machine will have the right parameters installed prior to arriving with you.
