EXTRUSION NEXT LEVEL PRECISION

Next-level plastic extrusion with laser measurement

Plastic tubes & profiles • Tight tolerances • European production

In many projects, plastic tubes and profiles look like a simple commodity. In reality, a few tenths of a millimetre can decide whether a seal is tight, a cable fits, or an assembly line keeps running. That is why our plastic extrusion plant is moving to the next level of precision – with inline laser measuring systems on our extrusion lines.

Laser gauges continuously monitor key dimensions during extrusion and give us real-time feedback, so we can keep every batch within your specified tolerances – not just on paper, but on the coil and on the pallet.

Why precision matters in plastic tube and profile extrusion

Whether you use our products for marine applications, machinery, electrical protection or building components, dimensional stability is critical. If tubes are too small, they are impossible to assemble. If they are too large or out of round, they may leak, rattle or wear out prematurely.

Traditional quality control relies mostly on manual measurements taken at intervals. This can miss short-term deviations and makes it harder to react quickly to changes in raw material or process conditions. The result is more scrap, more rework and less predictable quality.

How laser measurement upgrades our extrusion process

Our laser measuring systems scan the extruded tube or profile in real time. Depending on the application, the sensors can track outside diameter, wall thickness, ovality and even detect surface defects. The system sends live data back to the extruder control, allowing our operators to fine-tune speed, pressure and temperature on the fly.

This closed-loop approach turns extrusion from a “best-effort” process into a controlled, data-driven production method. For our customers, this means tighter tolerances, fewer complaints and a more consistent product from the first metre of the run to the last.

Benefits for your project

  • More stable dimensions on plastic tubes and profiles, even on long runs.
  • Reduced scrap rates and fewer production interruptions on your side.
  • Faster sampling and approval thanks to transparent process data.
  • Better fit and function in assemblies, seals and installations.
  • Reliable European manufacturing with flexible, customer-specific solutions.

Whether you need a standard diameter with tighter tolerances or a completely custom-made plastic profile designed around your application, our laser-assisted extrusion lines are built to deliver precise, repeatable quality.
