Laselec, designer and manufacturer of laser wire markers and laser wire strippers, is introducing its Sylade 7H wire stripper this week in Las Vegas at Heli-Expo 2018. A portable version of Laselec's Skylade benchtop unit, the 7H can be used for electrical installation inside the cabin and wire stripping completed at the harness assembly board. Laser wire stripping is currently being used to strip shielded, twisted, and multi-filament cables. The portable model features a 10-foot cord and echoes the company’s focus on miniaturization and ease of use.
Aerospace electrical harness manufacturing has been flourishing, driven in part by helicopter and commercial aircraft demand, along with an uptick business jet avionics installations, Laselec said. The aerospace sector is extremely labor intensive and the demand for automated processes is being met by products such as the Sylade 7H, the company added.
The Komax Group acquired Laselec last year, allowing the former company to continue to strengthen market segments outside of the automotive industry. Laselec’s booth (N6224) at Heli-Expo 2018 will feature equipment from both companies, including the Komax benchtop Mira 340 rotary stripper and Cosmic 48R coaxial cable stripper.
