Technology provider Rosendahl Nextrom is set to showcase a new generation of intelligent, automated manufacturing solutions aimed at increasing productivity and addressing real-world challenges across the wire and cable industry.
Among the highlights is Rosendahl’s first fully standardized, high-speed insulation line. Designed to be cost-efficient and material-saving, the solution targets the most common production requirements while delivering significantly higher output and improved material performance. The line is optimized for LSOH and HFFR applications, setting new benchmarks in processing efficiency and insulation quality.
Polypropylene insulation will also be in focus as a scalable and efficient option for medium-voltage cables. By taking a holistic view of the production process, Rosendahl identified the potential of polypropylene early and has continued to advance the technology since its introduction in 2018. In addition, visitors from the energy sector will see continuous forming and welding solutions developed for water- and gas-tight cable applications.
In the mobility segment, Rosendahl is building on its expertise in high-temperature polymers to support next-generation magnet wire insulation. Newly developed processes accommodate advanced materials such as PEEK, TPI, PPSU, and PFA, addressing the evolving requirements of electric mobility and high-performance electrical systems.
Data infrastructure is another key focus area. As artificial intelligence drives rapid growth in data center capacity, Rosendahl and Nextrom are presenting copper and fiber optic solutions designed to deliver speed, reliability, and energy efficiency across both short- and long-distance connections. Nextrom’s portfolio includes complete manufacturing solutions for rollable ribbons, rollable ribbon “super bundles,” and premises cables, enabling compact, high-fiber-count architectures for modern data center networks.
Fiber identification and cable design efficiency are further enhanced through Nextrom’s Multicolor Ringmarking technology. Offering more than 80 color combinations with minimal attenuation increase, the wet-on-wet marking process produces sharp, high-quality rings at speeds of up to 1,600 meters per minute, overcoming the limitations of traditional inkjet systems and supporting higher fiber counts.
Looking ahead, Rosendahl Nextrom is also providing a glimpse into the future of automation. Early steps toward integrating humanoid robots into cable manufacturing are underway, while significant upgrades to RIO line control introduce AI-driven features that improve precision by up to 50% and reduce start-up scrap by as much as 80%. Together, these innovations mark a major step toward more sustainable, high-speed, and intelligent cable production.
