A Study on Shield Wire Stripping of Micro Coaxial Cable for Medical Device Using Nd:YAG Laser

Nd:YAG 레이저를 이용한 의료기기용 마이크로 동축케이블의 실드선 탈피에 관한 연구

Recently, as ultrasonic medical devices are gradually developed, many of those requires smaller and more precision coaxial cables in probe. So, the use of micro coaxial cable becomes an efficient solution for ultrasonic machine. However, there are many difficulties in stripping micro coaxial cable by traditional mechanical process. In this paper, we use the Nd-YAG laser for the efficient stripping of conduct wire of cable. We propose a new method to strip the shield wire of micro coaxial cable. Through some experiments, we found that there is a new possibility in the proposed method. Also, in order to enhance the performance, we propose a preprocess of the cable before stripping.
