Find the Right System for Your Application

Answer a few quick questions about your material, profile, process, and production goals. We’ll suggest the most relevant Laser Wire Solutions technology as a starting point.

1. What type of material are you processing?

Select the closest match.

Plastic, rubber, or polymer insulationPTFE, ETFE, FEP, PFA, PVC, silicone, nylon, polyethylene

Metal, foil, or braidAluminum-mylar foil, copper foil, stainless steel, shields, braid

Fine medical wire or micro-thin polymerCatheter wires, micro-coax, very small wire constructions

Heat-sensitive or high-value componentComplex micro-features, ultra-precision parts, delicate materials

2. What best describes the profile?

This helps narrow down whether the application is more suited to wire stripping, flat processing, metal processing, or ultra-precision work.

Round wire or cableIncluding larger gauge or polymer-insulated wire

Flat ribbon, bar, or flat cableIncluding flat profiles and ribbon cable

Metallic foil, shield, braid, or conductive layerWhere the laser needs to interact with metal

Small, complex, or delicate componentWhere geometry, heat impact, or tolerance is critical

3. What is the approximate size or feature requirement?

If you are unsure, choose the closest option.

Less than 0.5 mm diameterOften fine medical wires, catheter wires, or micro-coatings

0.5 mm to 30 mm diameterCommon for polymer-insulated wire and cable stripping

Metal or foil feature up to around 10 mmShield removal, metal processing, or marking

Extremely small or tight-tolerance featureUltra-fine holes, micro-machining, structuring, or precision ablation

4. What process do you need?

Different systems are better suited to cutting, ablation, stripping, or fine feature creation.

Wire stripping or insulation removalCross cuts, slits, windows, or area ablation

Metal cutting, shield removal, or markingMetal interaction, conductive layers, or foil applications

Micro-coating removal or fine medical wire processingSmall features with minimal thermal impact

Ultra-precision drilling, cutting, or ablationWhen thermal impact must be minimized

5. What is your production goal?

This helps us recommend either equipment or a lower-risk production route.

We want to compare equipment optionsWe are looking at bringing the process in-house

We need production support before buying equipmentSpool-to-spool or component supply could be a better first step

We are still proving feasibilityWe need sample review or process development support

We need advanced R&D or high-value component processingPrecision, validation, and material integrity are critical
