THE ADVANTAGES OF LASER WIRE MARKING

According to SAE standards, aerospace wiring must be marked every three inches. Our lasers provide a high-quality, non-contact method for permanently marking wire and cable with alphanumeric characters, graphics or barcode information.

Laser systems are a reliable alternative to impermanent marking methods, such as direct ink or hot stamping, which require a lot of maintenance. Unlike hot stamping, laser marking doesn’t damage the wire or change its electrical or mechanical properties. It also results in permanent marks that don’t wear off due to solvents or friction.

How it works. UV laser wire marking—the specified method for many civil and military aircraft—works by absorbing radiation on the insulation’s surface. This process initiates a reaction with the UV-sensitive titanium dioxide particles in the insulation, causing the particles to change colors by rearranging their crystalline structure on a microscopic scale. The result is a dark, 20-μ deep mark on the white insulation.

Our laser marking systems provide several advantages, which includes: Permanence, flexibility, and many wire profiles.
