Thinking about TPI or PEEK extrusion for magnet wire? Looking for gas-tight metal shielding for your superconductor production? Need for higher bandwidth pushing data centres toward optical fibres?

Sounds like a case for Rosendahl Nextrom. The company is set to showcase innovations across the sectors energy, mobility and communication.

Energy

A new standard in high-speed insulation: Rosendahl introduces its first completely standardised high-speed insulation line. Cost-efficient, material-saving, and designed for the most common use cases, it reaches new levels in output and material performance – particularly in LSOH/HFFR processing.

Polypropylene gaining ground: Polypropylene insulation is a strong, efficient and scalable option for MV cables. By looking at production as a whole, Rosendahl spotted its potential early on and has continuously advanced the technology since its introduction in 2018.

Perfect protection for submarine cables and superconductors: In the energy sector, visitors will discover continuous forming and welding solutions for water- and gas-tight applications.

Mobility

Boosting productivity in magnet wire insulation: Building on its work with high-temp polymers, Rosendahl has developed processes for new materials in magnet wire insulation, such as PEEK, TPI, PPSU, and PFA. In addition, productivity receives a significant boost thanks to a new inline wall thickness scanner and a fully automated, robot-assisted winder.

Communication

What AI needs: As AI technology is now woven into every aspect of our lives. Copper and fibre optic solutions from Rosendahl and Nextrom deliver everything needed for modern data centres and networks: Speed, reliability, and energy efficiency for long- and short-distance connections alike.

Complete manufacturing solutions for data centre interconnectivity: From fibre to finished cable: Nextrom provides the complete toolkit for next-generation DCI infrastructure with manufacturing solutions for rollable ribbons, rollable ribbon “super bundles”, and premises cables for rack-level connections. These technologies enable compact, high-fiber-count designs for efficient, high-capacity data centre networks.

High-Speed Multicolor Ringmarking: Nextrom’s Multicolor Ringmarking ensures high-quality fibre identification with 80+ colour combinations and minimal attenuation increase, overcoming limitations of traditional inkjet marking. Its wet-on-wet process delivers sharp rings at up to 1,600m/min, unlocking new cable concepts and higher fibre counts.

Next in automation

Rosendahl Nextrom has taken early steps toward integrating humanoid robots into cable manufacturing – offering a glimpse of what’s next in automation.

“RIO” line control has received major updates, including integrated AI features that fine-tune precision up to 50% and reduce start-up scrap by up to 80 %. A major step toward sustainable, high-speed production. Visitors can experience all innovations live.
