Laser stripping, compared to more conventional stripping techniques, is a non-mechanical process for removing insulation from a stranded conductor, shielded sheathed cable, enameled wire, etc.
Laser stripping, compared to more conventional stripping techniques, is a non-mechanical process for removing insulation from a stranded conductor, shielded sheathed cable, enameled wire, etc.
When stripping, the insulation must be sliced over the entire circumference of the wire with the laser beam. This is normally achieved by using opposing laser beams.
The most important parameters are set or controlled via the machine settings. Once set, these parameters can, generally, be stored in the machine as programs.
The principle: Stripping the Wire End - Cross-Cut and Slit - Window Stripping - Enameled Wire – Removal of the Insulating Protective Coating
This method is perhaps the most commonly used method in laser stripping.
In this method, a device called a galvanometer scanner (or "galvo" for short) is used to direct the laser beam.
