August 15, 2008 - Nova systems are the most cost effective and highest performance, solid state UV laser wire markers in the world. The Nova 880, launched in October 2007, is the fastest laser wire marker on the market. It exceeds the throughput performance of the benchmark CAPRIS 100, also manufactured by Spectrum, which for 15 years has been the workhorse for aerospace wire harness production for both commercial and military programmes worldwide.
The Nova 800 series offers economical systems using the latest technology, designed in response to industry demand for cost-effective, reliable and high performance marking systems for a range of wire harness manufacturing applications.
There is a Nova system for all levels of production: Nova 800 is a new low range system for lower volume applications, with a step-up in throughput and system performance through the Nova 820, Nova 840 and Nova 860 to the top-of-the-range Nova 880.
All Nova products may be configured as either manual or automated systems. Automated systems benefit from a new design philosophy wire Auto-Select and Load unit allowing up to 32 different wires to be held on the system at any one time, combined with a new design powered multistation dereeler handling up to 32 separate reels of wire and cable; this is the highest number possible with any system available on the market.
A further major advantage of the automated systems is that the wires are automatically loaded into the system at higher speeds than in any other similar systems, reducing dead-time and set up to an absolute minimum.
A unique advantage of Nova systems is that they are fully upgradeable in the field. Customers can upgrade their Nova system to any higher level model, or from a manual to an automated version. As volumes increase and businesses grows, so can their Nova system.
Nova systems are fully qualified and/or in compliance with most aerospace OEMs and the latest international standards for aerospace wire marking.
The Nova 880 marking system, launched in October 2007, was very well received in the aerospace community. The launch customer for the Nova 880 was Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, CT, USA. The Nova 880 satisfied Sikorsky’s need to replace their existing equipment while the advanced features of the Nova 880 offered important productivity improvements and fitted in well with their drive for lean manufacturing.
