Collins Aerospace
Marc Ayala, senior director of sales for Collins Aerospace,
started his presentation by reminding attendees
what the company briefed attendees on at last year's
New Product Introductions. Projects completed since then
include an STC for installing the Pro Line Fusion integrated
avionics system for King Air B300/350 platforms, and
CPLDC for the Premier 1 and 1/A, plus CPDLC, FANS
and ATN1B for the Hawker 750/800/900 fleet. The CPDLC,
FANS and ATN1B upgrades are also available for
the Falcon 2000/EX. Meanwhile, Collins has completed
70 Pro Line Fusion upgrades of Challenger 604 bizjets,
with five of them including Venue cabin management
system upgrades.
" Looking ahead to this year, " Ayala continued, " we're
going to add the King Air 200 and 250 for Pro Line Fusion
- that'll be a Pro Line 2-to-Fusion, for a starting point -
and then we'll also have CPDLC for King Airs, Citation
Encore, XLS and CJs, as well. " Other plans for 2023
include FOQA and CVR for the King Air B200/250, B300
and C90 variants, plus ice detection systems for Part 23
aircraft under the FAA's NORSEE (non-required safetyenhancing
equipment) policies.
" Moving over to the cabin side, we received some
feedback from a lot of our users that our older wireless
access points needed to be upgraded, and so we've
done that now and we're happy to announce we'll have
our new and improved access point available later this
year, " Ayala said. " It's going to have beefed-up connectors
so that we can bring in a little bit better reliability and
have some of the latest Wi-Fi, streaming and protocols
to go with it. " The WAP-6000 will provide 4K streaming
and high-definition content for multiple devices, include
Wi-Fi 6 capability
and WPA3 security,
plus offer a remote
mounting option.

Daniels
Manufacturing Corp.
" Today, we're here to
bring you LaceLok, the
smarter option for secondary wire harness support, " Shane
Leary, business development manager for Daniels Manufacturing
Corp., said as he opened his presentation. The new
product essentially replaces " hand-tied lace and cable ties. "
" Why LaceLok? Hand-tied lace and cable ties have been
used for many years, with a lot of issues. To prevent that,
we came out with LaceLok, " Leary continued. " LaceLok is
safer, more consistent and has superior performance. It
also installs faster. "
According to the company, using LaceLok will help prevent
inconsistent installations, repetitive motion injuries, operator
abrasions and fatigue, lost-time accidents, and abrasions to
wires and nearby components. LaceLok also helps prevent
brittle or loosening support resulting from exposure to extreme
temperatures, chemicals and ultraviolet light.
Other benefits of LaceLok, according to the company,
include an ergonomic design to reduce repetitive motions and
smooth fastener termination at 20 pounds of force, eliminating
abrasion injuries while adding consistent loop force. The meta
aramid fiber material used is rated for operation in extreme
temperatures, from minus 65 degrees Celsius to 260 degrees
Celsius, and is resistant to hydraulic fluid, lubricating oil and
fuel while also being 40% lighter than large cable ties. It also
installs up to three times faster than most hand-tied lace,
which makes it quick and easy to train personnel to use. Its
consistency helps prevent reworking harness assemblies.
Daniels Manufacturing offers a LaceLok starter kit, which
includes an installation tool, 100 pieces of LaceLok, a removal
tool and an extra cutting blade. LaceLok is Mil Spec-qualified
to MIL DTL 32554 and MIL DTL 32555 and is approved by
SAE in AS50881H.
