Laser Wire Markers

Nova 50-100i Series

The Nova 50-100i Series is Spectrum’s latest 6th generation entry-level bench-top laser wire processing system, developed for low to medium volume wire marking applications. Replacing the CAPRIS® 50-100 PCS system, the series combines proven productivity with enhanced software, control and processing capability in a compact, fully integrated platform.

 

Providing mark, measure and cut functionality within a single system, the Nova 50-100i Series is suited to applications ranging from maintenance and low-volume manufacturing through to full production environments. The system delivers flexible, high-quality UV laser wire marking across a wide range of wire types and applications.

 

Available models include:

  • Nova 50-101i – Entry-level bench-top wire marking system
  • Nova 50-102i – Enhanced productivity configuration
  • Nova 50-103i – Advanced configuration with additional features and highest productivity

 

Nova wire markers comply with key OEM aerospace specifications and international industry standards, including SAE AS5649 and ASD-EN4650.
