Wire & Cable ASIA – March/April 2012 20
THE Capris 50-100, one of the world’s most popular laser
wire marking system, has hit the big 250 mark following
receipt of an order from Boeing Aviation Services, Shanghai,
China.
Introduced in 2003 as the original entry-level bench-top
laser wire marking system for use in MRO, avionics and low
volume manufacturing of aerospace and defence electrical
wire harnesses, it has since become the benchmark
product at this level.
According to Spectrum, it is now the most widely sold laser
wire marker in the world.Capris 50-100 serial number 250
will ship to Boeing’s heavy maintenance facility in Shanghai
at Pudong airport.
In total, Spectrum has now supplied over 700 laser wire
markers to over 40 countries.
Dr Peter Dickinson, Spectrum’s CEO, said: “We are
delighted that our number one customer over time, Boeing,
has placed this order and will be the recipient of our 250th
Capris 50-100.
“The Capris 50-100 was envisaged as the world’s first
bench top wire marker and as a low cost system to facilitate
low volume users replace hot stamp wire markers which
were found to be causing damage to thinner wall aerospace
wires.
“Demand for these systems has been very firm this year and
it is pleasing to reach this landmark number of 250.”
