When it comes to the production of special cables with special properties, the desired machine performance rises to a high level. The demand of sensitive production processes made Rosendahl boost and fine-tune its manufacturing solutions for aerospace and automotive cable manufacturers. economic production, plays a pivotal role for every cable manufacturer. This is why Rosendahl has developed first-class process technology for X-ETFE extrusion under economical production conditions. Rosendahl has put its extensive material and process know-how into special equipment features. The results are process security and high productivity. Its high performance extrusion line can be set up in either a single or dual layer insulation design in a tandem process. High-performance X-ETFE extrusion ▲ ▲ Rosendahl – suitable for the production of special cables High-quality extrusion, combined with Extruder and screw design: Achieve outstanding product quality due to low shear of sensitive materials • Crosshead design: Expect perfect material flow. A minimum residence time maintains the material‘s properties and supports smooth production. The design‘s uniform melt flow leads to perfect concentricity • Line configuration: Benefit from a quick process start-up with a helper capstan. Optimise production with a cooling trough close to the crosshead Line demonstrations can be seen at the installed laboratory line at Rosendahl’s new technology centre in Austria. New data record? Alcatel-Lucent and the Africa Coast to Europe (ACE) consortium have successfully completed a field trial on the existing ACE system between France and the west coast of Africa, based on 300Gbit/s and 400Gbit/s technology. Transmission rates were achieved of 12.6Tbit/s of data per fibre pair.
