maintenance and easy operation. Its
accuracy and high centricity help to
achieve utmost reproducibility.
The HV power cable line RH-W is a
tandem metal sheathing and jacketing
line that covers product diameters from
40 to 200mm. Over the past year the
company has also placed particular
focus on the manufacturing of silicone
insulation and the processing of
high-temperature materials as well as
uoropolymers. Their material properties
have inspired the development teams to
reach even more ambitious goals.
