Lasers for Wire and Cable

Each year, billions of feet of cabling are installed around the world—requiring some kind of marking. Compared to other methods, laser wire marking offers unmatched precision, flexibility and speed without damaging the insulation or sheathing.

Mechanical, chemical and heat-based wire stripping methods require frequent cleaning, maintenance and adjustment and can also damage the conductor. Laser-based wire stripping overcomes these challenges. This non-contact approach keeps the conductive material and shield intact—eliminating weak spots for breakage or conductor resistance.

Wire and Cable Laser Applications

Laser Marking Wires

Laser wire marking produces permanent, high-contrast surface marks on all insulations without damage to the insulation and underlying wire as specified in aerospace (AS5649). These systems can achieve up to 120in per second depending on the font size and material properties.

  • Compliant with aerospace SAE standards
  • Mark medical-grade cables and metal wires
  • All laser sources available—depending on applications lab testing results of the material type, desired quality and speed
