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:
- DMC Tools introduced LaceLok, an innovative wiring harness securing system that combines elements of zip ties and traditional lacing.
- The LaceLok uses a specialized trigger tool to efficiently tighten and snip prefabricated lacing bundles, which feature a low-profile buckle for maintaining clamping force.
- This system offers an advantage over plastic zip ties, as its waxed lacing is gentler on wire insulation and helps prevent wear compared to conventional plastic ties.
