Rosendahl Nextrom brings intelligent automation to wire 2026

At wire Düsseldorf 2026, Rosendahl Nextrom will present intelligent, automated manufacturing solutions designed to increase productivity, reduce scrap, and support high-performance cable applications across energy, mobility, and communication. Visitors to Hall 9, Booth A60 will see how advanced line control, robotics, and process optimization are reshaping cable production.

Automation and AI driving production efficiency

A key highlight at the booth will be the latest evolution of RIO line control. Now enhanced with integrated AI features, the system fine-tunes process precision by up to 50% and reduces start-up scrap by up to 80%, supporting more stable and sustainable high-speed production.

Rosendahl Nextrom is also taking early steps toward integrating humanoid robots into cable manufacturing, offering a forward-looking perspective on automation in production environments.

Productivity upgrades in magnet wire insulation

In magnet wire insulation, productivity gains are supported by a new inline wall thickness scanner and a fully automated, robot-assisted winder. The company has further expanded its process expertise for high-temperature polymers such as PEEK, TPI, PPSU, and PFA, enabling advanced material applications in demanding mobility sectors.

High-performance solutions for energy and communication

In the energy sector, Rosendahl will introduce its first completely standardized high-speed insulation line. Designed for common industrial applications, the system is cost-efficient, material-saving, and optimized for LSOH/HFFR processing.

Polypropylene insulation for medium-voltage cables will also be in focus. Since introducing the technology in 2018, Rosendahl has continuously advanced PP processing, recognizing its potential as a strong, efficient, and scalable alternative for MV cable production.

For submarine cable and superconductor production, visitors will discover continuous forming and welding solutions for water- and gas-tight applications.

As AI-driven data traffic continues to accelerate, Rosendahl and Nextrom address the growing bandwidth demands of modern data centers and network infrastructure. From copper to fiber optic production, the portfolio covers manufacturing solutions for rollable ribbons, rollable ribbon super bundles, and premises cables for rack-level interconnectivity. These technologies enable compact, high-fiber-count designs for efficient, high-capacity data center networks.

Nextrom’s Multicolor Ringmarking technology will also be showcased at wire 2026. Offering more than 80 color combinations with minimal attenuation increase, the wet-on-wet process ensures sharp and precise fiber identification at speeds of up to 1,600 m/min. The technology supports new cable concepts and higher fiber counts, overcoming the limitations of traditional inkjet marking systems.

High-speed insulation, magnet wire automation, AI-enhanced line control, and high-capacity fiber manufacturing: all innovations can be experienced live at Rosendahl Nextrom’s stand at wire 2026, Hall 9, Booth A60.
