LASELEC’s innovative UV laser technology makes its cable mark


Advances in UV laser technology keep LASELEC at the forefront of innovation for wire- and cable-marking solutions, as the company will be able to demonstrate at the MRO AMERICA trade show and the Paris Le Bourget Air Show in the coming weeks. LASELEC is the only company that designs and manufactures its complete laser marking systems — including the laser itself — with a product range that is both upgradeable and adapted to every production requirement.

In the coming weeks, LASELEC will attend the MRO AMERICA trade show in Dallas (Texas, USA) from 21 to 23 April (Booth No2401) and the Paris Le Bourget Air Show, in Le Bourget, north of Paris (France), from 15 to 21 June.

LASELEC is a specialist in cable identification, cutting, and traceability equipment. The Nd-YAG UV laser cable-marking technology was pioneered by its R&D team more than 20 years ago.
After proving its worth in the demanding aeronautical industry, this technique is now used and relied upon across all industrial fields. The railway, marine technology, and space sectors — and even Formula 1 and rally cars — have all benefited from customizable marking solutions developed by LASELEC.  

The benefits of the processes developed and improved over the years by LASELEC have been integrated into aeronautical standards enforced in the industry. Unlike aggressive marking methods such as hot-stamping, laser wire marking does not alter the physical and electrical properties of cables. Yet, it is indelible and unalterable, which is not the case with ink-jet printing.

LASELEC has designed its machines to optimize productivity, which has translated into the integration of high processing speeds and automated operations through the specialist company’s dedicated software tools. Depending on customer needs, production requirements may vary from low to very high levels. As a result, LASELEC has broadened its range of machines, while offering very competitive prices. Three series of products are now available, as follows.

To start with, the fully upgradeable MRO 200 series is ideal for small to medium-sized customer requirements in terms of volume. Customers can easily upgrade their MRO 200 machines — from the basic MRO 200-A model up to the MRO 200-B and MRO 200-S models, which offer even greater productivity gains.


For its part, the ULYS Modena range is ideal for large to very large production requirements and is equally upgradeable. In addition to the ULYS 110, 220, and 330 Modena models, this range also includes the ULYS 990 Modena machine, which guarantees unparalleled productivity gains thanks to its dual laser system.

Finally, the ULYS LINE satisfies the requirements of the railway, maritime, automotive, and cable-manufacturing industries, among others.

LASELEC also offers a wire sample marker enabling cable manufacturers to check the UV ‘markability’ of given cables. Besides, this new LASELEC machine gives cable manufacturers the opportunity to make regular inspections during production. An added bonus is that this equipment includes the COMET system, which is designed to measure the contrast of different types of markings on the cables.

Thanks to the optimization of its customer-service department’s operations and to the high responsiveness of its teams, LASELEC guarantees the highest availability rate of any systems in the industry.
