Existing Methods
Do you experience slow production ramp up, low yields or variation in product quality?
Rotary Stripping
Chemical Dip Thermal Tweezer
• Inconsistent resistence welding process
• Signal transmission variation
• Wire attachment breaking off
• Soldering has voids or inclusions
• Batch or lot variation
• Inherent health & safety risks
• Unsuitable for all wire configurations
• Operator skill dependent
• Contamination due to residue
• High tool wear and maintenance
Why Choose Laser?
Tiny defects from wire processing often go unnoticed until final testing—after full assembly. By then, the cost isn’t just the scrap wire, but wasted labor, components, and lost production time.
Hidden wire scrap can quietly drain thousands of dollars from your bottom line and delay critical deliveries.
Laser wire stripping eliminates hidden damage by providing precise, contact-free insulation removal.
• Eliminates the need for operator skill
• Increases product quality
• Increases yield
• Safe to use on production floor, no PPE
• No nick, no scrape process
• Laser reflects from conductors
• Suitable for all wire types & sizes
• Highly repeatable process
• No operator fatigue
• Fast process time
• Minimal working parts, low maintenence

Laser Stripping
Sharp Tweezers
How It Works
Our laser stripping technology utilizes a minimum of two laser beams to create a 360-degree ablation around the wire.
This advanced process offers unparalleled precision, ensuring that only the required material is removed while maintaining the integrity of the surrounding layers.
The laser selectively removes the required material, reflecting from the next layer. This creates a very stable process.
Laser stripping can be tailored for various manufacturing needs:

Case Study: Catheter Wiring | Ring Weld
A leading medical device manufacturer producing RF ablation catheters struggled with stripping 42 AWG copper-clad 316L stainless steel wire. Their vertical abrasion process caused inconsistencies, leading to a high failure rate in continuity tests.
Once implemented, they saw a 1.5% yield increase, saving $200k per line across lines in total.
The Solution: Odyssey-8
• UV laser technology ensures clean, precise stripping.
• 6mm strip length with complete insulation removal.
• Contact-free process eliminates mechanical damage.
The Results
• Zero insulation residue –perfect surface for welding.
• Processing time: <10 seconds per wire.
