Laser Wire Solutions and Schleuniger will showcase the Mercury-9 laser wire stripping machine at WireTech Mexico 2025 on September 10 and 11 at the El Paso Convention Center in Texas.
Designed specifically for the demands of the automotive and EV manufacturing sectors, the Mercury-9 offers non-contact, high-precision stripping of large-gauge and irregularly shaped wires. This advanced laser system delivers a clean, accurate strip every time without damaging the conductor. It is ideal for high-current applications where mechanical blades often struggle.
What Is the Mercury-9?
The Mercury-9 is a laser wire stripping system developed by Laser Wire Solutions. It is engineered to handle challenging insulation materials, complex wire geometries, and thick automotive wires, especially those used in electric vehicles (EVs) and high-power distribution systems.
Key benefits include:
-
Non-contact stripping to avoid conductor damage
-
Capability to handle large gauge and non-cylindrical wires
-
Effective on tough insulation such as cross-linked polymers
-
Seamless integration with automated production lines
Why It Matters to Automotive Manufacturers
Mexico’s automotive industry is growing rapidly, especially in areas like EV production, battery systems, and high-voltage wiring. As harnesses become more complex, many manufacturers are turning to laser-based systems that offer higher consistency and fewer process failures than mechanical methods.
The Mercury-9 helps automotive suppliers and EV manufacturers:
-
Eliminate rework caused by blade damage
-
Achieve consistent quality and clean finishes
-
Process wires that traditional systems cannot handle
Meet Our Experts at the Event
Visitors to WireTech Mexico 2025 will be able to experience the Mercury-9 in action at the Schleuniger booth (#64). Live demonstrations will show how the system performs on large and complex wire types used in modern vehicles.
Representing Laser Wire Solutions at the event will be:
-
Alistair George, Key Account Manager
-
Ricardo Soltero, Sales and Service Engineer based in Mexico
Both will be available to discuss technical applications, answer questions, and provide hands-on guidance for integrating laser stripping into production workflows.
