This technology increases speci c output while keeping energy consumption at low levels, allowing extruders to run at high speed for a lot of materials without degradation. Helibar® technology makes extruders compact, productive and energy e cient. This new collaboration is already resulting in the ability to supply highly e cient extrusion lines for microducts where Komax Helibar® extruders combine with DEXSEN processing expertise to de ne a new standard. The combination of the best technologies from DEXSEN and Komax results in the supply of an extensive range of extruders and complete lines for insulation and jacketing, for data or energy cables, for cross-linked compounds and chemical or physical foaming processes. From ultra-low output up to the highest, from optical bre or micro-wire insulation to the biggest subsea cables, there is always a DEXSEN-Komax extrusion solution. All DEXSEN machinery is manufactured in France, with European components and to the highest quality European standards. Top priority, and the key target for both companies, is to remain as exible as possible in meeting customers’ requirements. DEXSEN www.dexsen.com Die Quip has established a line of die nishing machines to grind, polish and size dies in a quick, e cient, accurate process, eliminating operator error and guesswork. Better dies pull more wire and cause fewer production problems, so Die Quip designed stand-alone machines for nishing dies in all sizes; for larger production runs, the company builds work cells to maintain e ciency and eliminate downtime from size changeovers. The company’s approach to a modern die shop implements a work ow system that Die Quip Stand: 09 D06-01
