Laser Wire and Cable Processing for Automotive Manufacturing

Controlled insulation and shield removal for high-performance automotive cables. Clean, precise and repeatable processing for more reliable production process.

Common Cable Processing Challenges in Automotive Manufacturing

Conductor
Damage

Assess alternatives to blade contact where conductor condition is critical to the required termination.

Difficult Layer Removal

Develop a processing sequence for jackets, insulation, foils, and shields while assessing the condition of retained layers.

Inconsistent Preparation

Define strip geometry, positioning, and inspection requirements around your cable and downstream assembly process.

Production Bottlenecks

Evaluate processing alongside loading, material removal, inspection, and transfer between operations.

Automotive Applications for Laser Processing

High-Voltage Cable Preparation

High-Voltage Cable Preparation

Develop insulation-removal processes around cable diameter, layer construction, required strip length, and termination geometry. Evaluate the prepared cable against agreed acceptance criteria.

Foil and Shield Processing

Foil and Shield Processing

Assess controlled processing of shielding layers, with attention to shield position, retained dielectric, conductor condition, and subsequent material removal.

Automotive Data Cables

Automotive Data Cables

Prepare suitable shielded cable constructions for termination, with defined jacket, shield, and dielectric geometries. Confirm results using the inspection and assembly tests required for your application.

Magnet Wire and Hairpin Conductors

Magnet Wire and Hairpin Conductors

Evaluate enamel-removal requirements for conductor preparation before joining. Material, coating, conductor profile, and access determine the appropriate processing approach.
