The extrusion of plastic inner wrap and jacketing is a vital segment of any coated wire, cable, or fiber optic manufacturing process. The demands upon the extruder to deliver a flawless, precise layer of plastic material, at high speed with no interruption, have been answered by developments in dies, haul-offs, winders, and measuring devices that respond to variations in the extruder’s output by “feed-back” information transmitted by those devices’ controllers.
