ORLANDO, FL / ACCESS Newswire / June 18, 2026 / Laser Photonics Corporation (NASDAQ:LASE) ("Laser Photonics" or the "Company"), a global leader in laser systems for industrial and defense applications, along with Fonon Technologies, an affiliated company within the LASE Group of Companies, today introduced a fully automated laser processing solution for the avionics and military electronics sectors, delivering high-precision stripping, marking, and cutting of wires and busbars.
The computer-controlled system streamlines complex wire harness production by measuring, marking, stripping, and cutting wires in a single continuous process. Fully compliant with SAE Aerospace and military MIL-SPEC standards, the technology uses non-contact laser ablation to protect underlying metal conductors from damage.
The High Precision Advantage
The system uses a UV laser for precise wire marking and dual CO2 lasers for clean wire and busbar insulation removal, offering distinct advantages over traditional mechanical methods:
Damage-Free Execution: The laser wavelengths are absorbed by polymer insulation (including polyimide, Teflon, and Kapton) but safely reflected by the metal core, ensuring zero defects, nicks, or core damage.
On-The-Fly (OTF) Marking: Integrated closed-loop encoder feedback enables high-contrast, permanent tracking marks on wires moving at speeds up to 600 feet per minute.
Fluid & Friction Resistance: Eliminates traditional inks that smear or require chemical solvents, delivering permanent surface marks unaffected by grease or hydraulic fluids.
Seamless Automation: Integrates effortlessly into single-piece flow manufacturing setups and can be paired with camera vision modules for automated quality verification.
Management Commentary
"Precision and reliability are mission critical in defense logistics," said Wayne Tupuola, Chief Executive Officer of Laser Photonics. "Our automated wire processing system eliminates the human error, cost, and complexity associated with traditional manufacturing methods.
"As the Department of Defense sharpens its focus on supply chain integrity and absolute traceability, traditional wire labeling methods are no longer sufficient. Our non-contact laser technology guarantees perfect electrical conductivity while enabling high-speed, permanent tracking. This solution represents a cornerstone offering in our expanding DefenseTech portfolio.
"Alongside Fonon Technologies, we are proud to deliver purpose-built laser solutions that directly solve the unique asset-integrity and operational challenges faced by our military and aerospace customers," concluded Tupuola.
