Ultraviolet cable marking by laser
Cutting-edge technology was on display at the Paris Air Show in June when Laselec demonstrated aeronautic cable marking by ultraviolet laser. The growing demand for safety, quality and durability has led control authorities to prohibit aeronautic cable identification processes deemed to be aggressive (such as hot stamping) or impermanent (ink-jet) and instead promote new methods. The strictness of Airbus AIPS and Boeing BAC 5152 standards has also led to a boom in the only indelible process which does not damage the cables – UV laser marking.
Laselec responded to this demand by creating, as early as 1989, the first cable markers in the world to use the ND-YAG UV laser process.
To complement the range of ULYS™ machines dedicated to medium- and large-scale production runs, the MRO 200 meets the needs of small maintenance centres. This technology, initially reserved for aircraft construction firms and their main suppliers, is now attracting increasing numbers of sub-contractors as well as airline companies wishing to rework their own cables and spare harnesses.
This complete range allows the Toulouse-based company to respond to the keyword in the aerospace industry: flexibility. Marie-Line Clémençon-Laval, Sales Director at Laselec, says, “The flexibility of Easyprod software and our product adaptability means that we can easily adjust our markers within the MRO 200 range, to meet our customers’ increasing production needs.”
