Developments in ribbon and loose tube production for fibre optic cables include:

detection, efficient and high-quality production is guaranteed.

• OFC 21 ribbon manufacturing line. Nextrom has redesigned its ribbon line so it is now a horizontal process, offering ergonomic design for easy and fast threading • OFC 46 tandem ribbon buffering and jacketing line. The OFC 46 tandem line is based on the concepts of the OFC 45 ribbon buffering line and the OFC 60 fibre optic cable jacketing line • OFC30proof testing linewithautomatic reel change. The OFC 30 is designed for proof testing and rewinding of optical fibres. Special attention has been paid to short setting times, effortless operation andmaintenance, whipping prevention performance and energy efficiency • OFC 55 colouring and proof testing line. OFC 55 is designed for tandemised colouring and proof testing of optical fibres. Both processes, as well as fibre rewinding, can be done separately After signing an intellectual property agreement with Weber & Scher in 2018, RosendahlNextrom has strengthened its activities in seam welded smooth and corrugated metal tape sheathing systems. It also has news in the field of MV and HV power cable production. Solutions for HPTE extrusion (high performance thermoplastic elastomers) are a milestone in the manufacturing of MV and HV insulations. In combination with its smart line control systems and automatic colour

Sikora AG Booth: 730

Sikora will present a broad portfolio of measuring, control, inspection, sorting and analysis technologies. Thenewly launchedX-Ray 8000Advanced will be a highlight at the booth. With the X-ray based system, the company has introduced High-Speed Technology (HST) that is tailored to the demands of MV, HV and EHV cable production. It represents an advanced alternative to the successful and established X-Ray 8000 NXT. The system is equipped with 16 measuring sensors and measures the diameter, wall thickness and eccentricity of cables in CV lines up to ten times faster than the X-Ray 8000 NXT, for more efficient control
