Precision Wire Stripping, Built for Aerospace Standards

Laser Wire Solutions — Aerospace | Laser Wire Stripping

Non‑Contact Precision. Mission‑Critical Reliability.

Aerospace harness production faces rising complexity and tighter tolerances. Mechanical blades and chemical dips can’t deliver the repeatability or traceability modern programs require. Laser wire stripping changes that.

Laser Wire Stripping
Ablate insulation with micron‑level control — preserve conductor integrity.
Reflects from conductor • No nick • No scrape

Why aerospace teams switch to laser

Hidden damage from legacy processing often surfaces at final test — costing time and materials. Laser stripping eliminates conductor nicks and delivers repeatable, auditable results.

  • Contact‑free precision
  • Repeatable process control
  • Damage‑free stripping of difficult materials
  • Fully auditable results
  • No nick, no scrape — laser reflects from conductors
  • Operator skill independent; high repeatability
  • Fast cycle times and low maintenance

Problems with legacy methods

  • Health & safety risks (chemical dips, thermal methods)
  • Unsuitable for many wire configurations
  • Operator‑dependent quality and fatigue
  • Contamination and residue risks
  • High tool wear and maintenance
  • Hidden damage discovered late at final test

How it works

Dual laser beams create a precise 360° ablation around the wire. The laser selectively removes insulation and reflects from the conductor or next layer, delivering a stable, repeatable process.
