CAPRIS 50-100 laser wire marker reaches #250 with Boeing Shanghai

15 Dec 2011

The CAPRIS 50-100, the world’s most popular laser wire marking system, has hit the big 250 mark following receipt of an order from Boeing Aviation Services, Shanghai, China.

Introduced in 2003 as the original entry-level bench-top laser wire marking system, for use in MRO, avionics and low volume manufacturing of aerospace and defence electrical wire harnesses, it has since become the benchmark product at this level. It is now the most widely sold laser wire marker in the world, bar none.

CAPRIS 50-100 serial number 250 will ship before the end of the year to Boeing’s heavy maintenance facility in Shanghai at Pudong airport. In total Spectrum has now supplied over 700 laser wire markers to over 40 countries.

Dr Peter Dickinson, Spectrum’s CEO said "We are delighted that our number one customer over time, Boeing, has placed this order and will be the recipient of our 250^th CAPRIS 50-100. The CAPRIS 50-100 was envisaged as the world’s first bench top wire marker and as a low cost system to facilitate low volume users replace hot stamp wire markers which were found to be causing damage to thinner wall aerospace wires. Demand for these systems has been very firm this year and it is pleasing to reach this landmark number of 250."
