Closely tied with electronics, there are some special, complex cables used specifically for high speed data transfer where laser stripping is the easiest and most effective method of stripping, such as for InfiniBand™ and fibre optic cables.

Medical devices contain very delicate wires with exacting process requirements where laser is often the only solution. Our SIENNA laser wire strippers are routinely used for stripping wires for medical devices such as ultrasound probes, hearing aids, implants, and intravascular devices.  We have also supplied laser systems for dental research for drilling teeth.

Nova laser wire markers are being used by major rail car OEMs to identify wiring in new rail cars.

SIENNA systems can be used to strip rail vehicle wiring, large diameter trackside cabling and signal cables.

Spectrum’s UV laser wire marking systems are also used to identify wire and cable in military ground vehicles as well as for military aircraft.

There are also a number of laser wire stripping applications in the defence sector with SIENNA systems in use at electronic defence systems manufacturers for stripping high temperature, Kapton insulated and other specialist cable assemblies.
