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 a new wire-bundling system that combines traditional lacing methods with the ease of a zip-tie-like application.
- It utilizes special prefabricated waxed lace bundles, secured with a low-profile buckle, and tightened/snipped by a dedicated trigger tool.
- The primary benefit of LaceLok is its use of waxed lace, which is less abrasive on wire insulation than conventional plastic zip ties, preventing long-term wear.
