Tri-Star Technologies

Tri-Star Technologies makes UV laser wire marking systems, plasma surface treatment systems and automatic contact crimpers. Its factory and engineering team are in El Segundo, California. The company says it has been working in laser marking, crimping and adhesion improvement for almost 40 years.

The product range covers wire markers, automatic crimpers, plasma systems, laser marking systems, pharmaceutical laser marking equipment and refurbished equipment. A new item shown on the home page is the CrimpXPress automatic contact loader. Industries named on the site are aerospace and defense, wire and cable, automotive, medical device and pharmaceutical.

Wire marking is a main line for aerospace work. The wire markers can dereel, measure, mark, cut and coil in one process. The UV laser makes a clear mark on wire that contains titanium dioxide. For other wire, the company offers an inkjet marker used with its plasma treatment system. The site says over 550 wire and cable marking systems are in use around the world.

For standards, the site says the company is qualified and listed to Boeing BAC5152 and that its markers comply with D6-3691, MIL50881 and AS50881. It also follows SAE ARP5607 and SAE AS5649 for print legibility.

The company says it makes more than 90 percent of its parts in house and has a showroom for product demos. Production sits beside engineering, so new designs can be prototyped fast. It also has regional offices in the US and abroad and a network of sales representatives. The leadership page names Alex Kerner as founder and CEO.

The website offers a demo booking, a career page, a blog, and sales and technical support contacts. The phone number is +1-323-347-5767.
