THE latest technology in cars is almost impossible to imagine. Autonomous driving, cameras and various entertainment applications are becoming common features of a new car. But what is the impact of these on a cable producer in the near future? Development opportunities for autonomous driving seem infinite. Reversing cameras that help with parking, cruise control that warns of driving too fast and entertainment applications that occupy children on long drives are almost standard in new cars. New sensors that should make driving even safer are being developed constantly. The challenge is: • The more technology there is in a car, the higher the number of different cables needed • More cables and sensors, but consistent or even reduced space consumption • High temperature resistance • 100 per cent accuracy • Optimal transmissibility Polypropylene is a resistant, low-loss and comparatively light plastic. These attributes make it attractive for cable production in the automotive field, as it allows the production of small, light and economical products. In combination with the new gas control systems RGIV (Rosendahl gas injector valve) and RMFC (Rosendahl mass flow control), lines for the production of data cables in the automotive sector are suitably equipped to ensure the reproducibility of the product and to reduce scrap during the entire production process. Rosendahl Nextrom – Austria This will be the tenth time that Rosendahl has exhibited at wire Russia. Over recent months the company has paid attention to the further development of its silicone lines. The use of silicone is enjoying increasing popularity due to the many positive material properties, such as its extreme heat resistance, regardless of whether for automotive or safety cables. Rosendahl’s new crosshead RX 40 MB 1.2 is suitable for the co-extrusion of filling and jacketing systems with diameters up to 40mm. On the road with Rosendahl Ten times in Moscow for Rosendahl Nextrom Website : www.rosendahlnextrom.com The material flows are thermally separated from each other and applied using an intermediate nozzle – thus different mass temperatures can be driven – for example, EPDM and PVC in co-extrusion • Filler can be dropped to zero wall thickness – only gusset filling with a coat layer • Skin/strip can be moved over the jacket layer Nextrom is further expanding its R&D laboratories, which now include facilities to make preforms by VAD and OVD, draw and quality optical fibre, but also a new loose tube and premise cable line. This equipment is available in Finland for demonstrations and joint trials with customers. Also working on the stand will be colleagues from the Russian office.
