Extrusion International 2-2026

5 Extrusion International 2/2026 A new measurement technology reduces scrap in ber-reinforced plastic (FRP) pro les and enables cost-effective process control for small and mediumsized enterprises. Researchers developed the system in the PulLoop project led by the Fraunhofer AZOM Around 2,000 metres of piping and a wealth of energy-ef cient and smart technologies supply the extrusion lines at egeplast with plastic pellets for the production of microducts and bundle pipes for bre-optic cable installation Since 1985, CONEXTRU and its founder, J. Dobrowsky, have been involved in thecontinuous development of new pipe heads. This means that over 3,500 pipe heads designed and built during this period are currently in operation worldwide (Part 2 of his article) Zumbach Electronic has recently unveiled its latest innovation in precision measurement technology: the QC non-contact, off-line measuring stations, designed to deliver fast, accurate, and repeatable measurements for wire, cable, and tube samples As an established market and technology leader in stretch wrap lm lines, SML offers production lines for all types of stretch lm application. One of SML’s most successful lines, the MiniCast, will be shown in operation at the Plast 2026 trade show SBI Mechatronik (SBI), known for its comprehensive portfolio of inline thickness measurement devices, has expanded its product range with state-of-the-art image processing systems (WIS 1000), characterized by their exibility and ability to adapt to individual customer requirements 27 24 28 26 36 32
