Avionics guru Larry Anglisano was at the Aircraft Electronics Association show last week and caught up with DMC Tools for a demo of the LaceLok. It’s a combination of zip ties and conventional lacing methods in a prefabricated form. A trigger tool tightens and then snips the ends of special lacing bundles that use a low-profile buckle to maintain the clamping force. Waxed lace, used for years in aviation, is easier on wire bundles than plastic zip ties, which can eventually wear through the insulation.
AEA 2023: DMC’s LaceLok Tool
Key Takeaways:
- LaceLok is an innovative wire bundle management system that combines elements of zip ties and conventional lacing in a prefabricated form.
- A specialized trigger tool is used to tighten and snip these lacing bundles, which feature low-profile buckles for consistent clamping force.
- The system utilizes waxed lace, which is gentler on wire insulation than plastic zip ties, preventing wear and extending insulation lifespan.
