Abstract
Abstract:The laser wire stripper is a non-contact material processing equipment, which adopts lasers cutting technology to strip the insulation of the wires. A wire has to be fixed to a stationary workbench to get stripped. However, the confined inner space within an aerospace product makes it impossible to perform precisely this operation, which restricts the use of laser wire strippers. This article introduces a hand-held laser stripping tool, which works like the widely used hot weezers. With its optical path extended via optical fiber, the cutting point of the tool is separated from the laser device effectively. This tool is a perfect solution to the technology problem that the wires of an aerospace product have to be stripped and soldered within its confined inner space, and improves the reliability of the product greatly.
